“As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman have a pint, and
a man a quart—why can't she have her little pint full? You
need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take
too much,—for we can't take more than our pint'll hold.”
How does the rhetoric in these sentences support Truth's central idea?
By firmly stating that most women are physically smaller than men, Truth argues that women should have rights specifically designed for
them.
By subtly referring to the fact that she has been unable to develop her intellect, Truth suggests that the power of her speech is based on emotion.
By slyly suggesting that women could never be as smart as men, Truth
assures men that granting women equal rights would not be a threat.
By directly comparing a quart to a pint, Truth is embracing the idea that there will always be fundamental differences between men and women.
