When did Sojourner Truth fight against slavery?

Sojourner Truth began her fight against slavery in the mid-19th century, particularly gaining prominence after the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, where she delivered her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech. Born into slavery in 1797, she escaped in 1826 and spent the following decades advocating for abolition and women's rights. Her activism continued until her death in 1883, making her a key figure in both the abolitionist and women's rights movements.
