The woman’s struggle for equality has been a long, hard process since the 1850’s and still persists into modern times. Women were brave enough to branch away from the societal norm of being a submissive female. Unfortunately, they were often ridiculed for their actions or dismissed (Donnaway). Although African American women would have an even tougher battle ahead of them. An African American female born into slavery around 1797, Sojourner Truth fought for the cause and made a lasting impact

Sojourner Truth was an advocate for women’s rights. The essence of her speech at the “Woman’s Rights” convention showed the external thoughts of a woman, not just any woman but a former slave. Truth used, like all other inequalities around that time, religion as a base to fight for women’s right; as well as women’s children and their attitudes towards their mothers.

In 1851, Sojourner Truth delivered her speech about racial inequalities, “ain’t I a woman”. I am choosing to use this speech as my primary source for my paper.

Thus, being treated with the

September’s Pathfinder camp-out had a profound effect on my life because it meant a lot of firsts. It was the first time in the last decade that I spent a night anywhere other than at my parents’ or grandparents’ house. Since I have never been camping before, this was also the first time that I have seen masses of stars. And, thrillingly, it was the first time I almost started a fire. When we arrived at the campground, the first thing the staff did was assign a tent to each Pathfinder – a most

Over the years there have been several different designs of Martian landers that have attempted to slip past the proverbial “galactic ghoul” protecting the planet Mars. However, few of these designs have fared successful at landing smoothly. These technologies have ranged from the original
