In the Women's Rights Convention of 1851, Truth repeatedly equates her worth to that of a man based on her physical and intellectual abilities. Some of Truth's statements at this convention include: “I have as much muscle as any man and I can do as much work as any man. I can carry as much as any vehicle, and I can also eat as much.” These statements highlight the fact that women were thought to have fewer physical and intellectual abilities than men and as such enjoyed fewer rights. By repeatedly equating herself with men in all of these arenas, Truth showed the commonalities between men and women. Furthermore, Truth's views came from the position of a former African American slave, who was not. In this speech, Truth compared herself, a black woman, to having the same abilities as a white man, thus attempting to change her audience's view of the current existing American capitalist patriarchal structure that puts white men at the top and women of color at the top. bottom of
