Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth's seminal speech, "Ain't I A Woman?" drew attention to the disparity between how womanhood was defined for white and black women of this era.

​Amelia Bloomer is best known for promoting a style of dress which seemed at best outlandish to many of the people of her day, and at worst subversive and dangerous. This outfit, while quite tame to us now, seemed tantamount to cross-dressing to many of her contemporaries. Consider what impact the promotion of bloomers may have had on the suffrage movement.
