Abstract
Analysis of selected speeches by feminists active in early Afro-American protest reveals significant similarities and differences in their rhetoric and that of white feminists of the period. Sojourner Truth’s speeches are similar in style and content; Ida B. Well’s addresses differ in style, but her analysis of race and sex recurs in the rhetoric of Southern white feminists; Mary Church Terrell’s speech on segregation exhibits "feminine" style but reflects vast differences in concerns.
