Sojourner Truth's advocacy is best described as which combination?

• A. Organizing underground passages.
• B. Editing abolitionist newspapers.
• C. Advocating for enslaved people and women's rights.
• D. Developing agricultural techniques.

Answer: (C)

Sojourner Truth’s advocacy centers on both ending slavery and advancing women’s rights. She believed enslaved people deserve freedom and dignity and also argued that women deserve equal rights and a voice in public life. Her work linked abolitionist goals with the push for women’s suffrage, showing how racial and gender oppression intersected and why liberation must include both groups. Born into slavery in New York, she escaped, became a preacher and speaker, and joined with other abolitionists to spread her message. This combination of fighting for enslaved people and promoting women’s rights best captures her impact. The other descriptions—organizing escape routes, editing abolitionist newspapers, or developing agricultural techniques—don’t reflect the core focus of her public advocacy.
