Read the quotation from abigail adams. it is from a letter she wrote her husband, john adams, as he draft the us constitution. i desire you would remember the ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. based on "ain't i a woman? ," how did truth most likely feel about the anti-suffragist idea that women were too sentimental and emotional to be involved in politics?

Sojourner Truth probably disagreed with the anti-women's suffrage movement and believed that women were rational and responsible enough to be involved in politics.

"Ain't I a Woman?" is a speech by Sojourner Truth (1797–1883), an African-American anti-slavery activist born a slave in the state of New York. It was delivered at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio, on May 29, 1851. "Am I not a man and a brother?" was a recurring motto used in the British anti-slavery campaign as early as the late 18th century. By claiming this phrase for herself and adapting it, Truth asserted both her race and her gender.

She believed in equality between men and women as much as between whites and blacks. In her speech, she expresses in many ways how she thinks women can do as much as men can ("I am as strong as any man"), and therefore should be given the same rights. This leads us to affirm that she would likely have defended women's suffrage.

She even alludes to men's unjustified fear of giving women more power: "You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much." This harkens back to Abigail Adams' letter to her husband, where she asks him to "be more generous and favourable" to the ladies.
