Complaint for the

In eighteen seventy, the fifteenth amendment granted black men the right to vote and there was no franchise for black women.

But post-Reconstruction she was still by his side preparing to secure the uplift of the race. Striving to reduce the stigma of the moral degradation cast on black females and thus the entire race of folk.

Sometimes she became an accomodationist practicing assimilationist tendencies in order to be heard. And even though A Voice From the South spoke, she could not be sure that any man listened. And so some aligned with white females thinking that the moral superiority of women would prevail. Ain't I a Woman? S. Truth had to ask and then bare her breasts to prove it. Feminists first made no preference then they made no room for a multicultural sisterhood.

Setback a gain, the black female became her own cause. She placed both feet in both struggles, A. Davis says. Black and female. Not one before the other. Not one and not the other. Both feet walking away from divided loyalties.
