“Ain’t I A Woman?” That is the question that Sojourner Truth asked in her famous speech over one hundred years ago. It is a question that begs to be asked and answered by all women, especially the women’s rights activist, Dorothy Pitman Hughes. Ain’t I A Woman, Too ? chronicles the life of Dorothy Pitman Hughes, a woman dedicated to civil rights for all people in all countries, including the United States, which is supposed to be the land of opportunity and the place where everyone has the inalienable right to pursue happiness and to follow their dreams. These pages give the reader a unique and personal insight into the life of a woman who fought tremendous odds, prejudices, and many injustices to pave the way for women today. Dorothy Pitman Hughes has made a life-long sacrifice in her pursuit of women’s rights and she has become an irreplaceable part of our heritage. Now, as she has gotten older, she begins to reflect on all of her accomplishments, but feels that many of her battles were fought in vain.Patricia Crane, a newspaper reporter, has been given the job of interviewing Mrs. Hughes for an article highlighting the local icons in the community and “where are they now ?” The interview takes an unexpected turn when Patricia meets for the first time and they both realize that, even though they are separated by a generation, the battles fought during Dorothy’s time continue today. The common struggleforces both women to come face to face with the demons in their personal lives.As the two women spend more time together, they realize the impact they are having on each other, but neither is prepared for the for the turmoil that surfaces as a result.
