well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. i think that twixt the negroes of the south and the women at the north, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. but whats all this here talking about?
that man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud - puddles, or gives me any best place! and aint i a woman? look at me! look at my arm! i have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! and aint i a woman? i could work as much and eat as much as a man — when i could get it — and bear the lash as well! and aint i a woman? i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mothers grief, none but jesus heard me! and aint i a woman?
then they talk about this thing in the head, whats this they call it? \intellect,\ someone whispers thats it, honey. whats that got to do with

Answer:

It shows that Truth has experiences to support her claims.
