The audience of Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman" speech primarily consisted of white, abolitionist feminists at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, in 1851. She sought to address both racial and gender inequalities, challenging the prevailing notions about the capabilities and rights of Black women. By speaking directly to this audience, she aimed to highlight the intersection of race and gender issues, advocating for the rights of all women, particularly those who were both Black and marginalized.
