Additional Details

This striking poster depicts Sojourner Truth with part of her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech--undoubtedly intended to speak to both the civil rights and feminist movements of the day. Another variant exists in brown and orange, printed by New Victoria Printers of New Hampshire. One copy in OCLC, at the University of Michigan, and none traced at auction.
