Sojourner Truth And Maya Angelou Comparison Essay

Both Sojourner Truth and Maya Angelou lived in different time periods, but they both were conveying the same message: civil rights. They were both African American women who believed that blacks and women were treated poorly and should be treated better. They also conveyed their points with different styles of delivery. One of these styles is better than the other.
Sojourner Truth had an angry tone when she gave her, "Ain't I a Woman" speech. She kept pointing out what was wrong with how men treat others, especially the white men. She said things that priced she was capable of doing regular things, and she kept repeating the same phrase: "ain't I a woman?"
Maya Angelou is a much more recent feminist who wrote a poem entitled, "Still I Rise".
