*Sojourner Truth*
The woman who i chose for Women's History Month was Sojourner Truth. I learned that she was one of the activists who campaigned for free land for former slaves. Sojourner worked to help newly freed slaves through the Freedman's Relief Association. Also, she became involved in a religious group called the Progressive Friends (an offshoot of the Quakers). They believed in abolition, women's rights, non-violence, and communicating with spirits.

Im very persued to look up the founders of history month for women. But it was intersesting to see the women of history that did the smallest things have the most recognition.

Somethings that I have learned about sojourner truth is her real name is Isabella Baumfree. Ms.Truth birth date was 1797.Ms.truth was born in Ulster County,New York.Isabella also was sold many times the last time she ran off with the infant because her last master promised her freedom and reneged when it came time. i think running off helped her become the women she was.she died November 26 1883 in Battle Creek Michigan.

A feminist is the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. Something that I learned about Phyllis Wheatley is that her first poem being published at the age of twelve during a time when women and slaves were unable to get an education.

I learned a lot about Maria Stewart::
In Stewart's essays, she acknowledged that her life could be in danger, but asserted that she was ready to serve as a martyr for the cause. Just as David Walker had done, she also directed her essays to blacks instead of white abolitionists. She urged blacks to exercise virtue and character equal to the white standard. She believed that once whites were shown the worthiness of blacks, they would finally recognize the equality of the races.
Feminist are women that fight for what they believe and their rights. A feminist makes a difference no matter how big or small the problem is.

A feminist is a woman who fights for what she believes in and who fights for their rights.
Sojourner Truth taught me that you should never give up on something that you want even if it all seems to be going wrong. She also taught me that it is good to fight for what you believe in because although you may feel like you don't make a difference, every one can help to make a change.
