Explanation:

In this speech, Sojourner Truth constantly repeats the phrase "ain't I a woman?" in order to remind the audience of the value and strength of women. She describes how she handled pain, tolerated abuse, and was constantly neglected and minimized. However, she handled all of these as well as a man would have. Sojourner Truth wants to show that it is not true that women are weaker and less intelligent. She is a woman and she is strong, clever and capable.
