Detailed explanation-1: -What is the meaning behind Sojourner’s claim that “if woman have a pint and man a quart-why can’t she have her little pint full”? By giving a woman a pint and a man a quart, the woman is unable to take more than the pint will hold. A woman will have only as many rights as you give her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sojourner’s experience as a mother played a significant part in her argument for women’s rights. Her claim that femininity gave her no special privileges gained momentum as she recounted that even the natural female right to mother her children had been stolen away.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “Ain’t I a Woman?” march was designed as a response to the overwhelming whiteness of the Women’s March and a way to include more black women in the women’s rights movement. Regardless of the exact words Truth used, it’s clear that she helped lay the foundation for the advocation of truly equal rights and power.
