Sojourner Truth

A former slave and one of the most powerful orators of her time, Sojourner Truth fought for the equal rights of black women throughout her life. This selection of her impassioned speeches is accompanied by the words of other inspiring African-American female campaigners from the nineteenth century.<br/>

GREAT IDEAS.  Throughout history, some books have changed the world.  They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other.  They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.  They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted.  They have enriched lives - and destroyed them.  Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
