Assignment 5 ~ "Ain't I a woman"
In this poem written by Sojourner Truth, the main theme is slavery. The author shares her personal life experience and she says that she was not treated with respect and that the men were considered to be better than women, or that they dominate and no one else. There is a phrase in this poem " And ain't i a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man". By this the author wants to express the equality between men and women and that because they are men, it does not mean that they are stronger, better ot they have rights and women not.

Afer reading this post I agree with her that the main theme is slavery,but I think the poem "Aint I a woman"treats more equality between womens and man like you have mentioned before.This is the main theme and also the way that black women are treated different by white women.
