Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883) was an African American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Born into slavery in New York, she escaped and became a prominent speaker for social justice, known for her powerful speeches, including "Ain't I a Woman?" Truth was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement and worked alongside other notable activists of her time. Her life and work continue to inspire movements for equality and justice.
