Sojourner Truth played a vital role in inspiring people to stand up against slavery and injustice. She stood up for herself and every African-American. She had the courage to stand up and leave her slave owner. She stood up for herself and her son in court when he was sold illegally to a slave owner in a different state. She had the moxy to become a public figure and talk about injustice against women and African-American slaves.

Throughout the course of American history, there are many men who have helped shape the United States. However, there are very few women who have also helped shape the United States. Sacagawea was one of those women. When President Thomas Jefferson tasked Lewis and Clark to lead an expedition into the west, it was Sacagawea that contributed the most to their mission.

Sacagawea provided invaluable help to Lewis and Clark’s expedition by using her knowledge of the land and local tribes to guide them through safer routes, find food, and help them communicate with other Native Americans.

In Lakota Woman, a biographical account of Mary Crow Dog, there is established a reoccurring theme centered around Native American women and their outlasting strength as they play their roles of wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters. Especially so in trying times, which Crow Dog illustrates, that have spanned for centuries and are as inescapable as they have ever been. Remarkable are her feats of bravery fueled by strength she’s derived from other influential women in her life and her love for her people and their traditions. Without a doubt, Native American women had and always will play a large role in keeping the ardor behind their fight for equality and justice lit. Whether it be physically, such as it was in Wounded Knee, spiritually, in their participation in keeping up rituals and religion, or traditionally, as they help uphold old values beloved by their people for centuries.

Anthony’s strong belief in women's rights and how she takes initiative into turning her beliefs into a reality is extremely courageous and should be recognised by more people.

Sojourner Truth will be remembered for her work against slavery and as one of the most powerful women’s rights activists during nineteenth century.

Truth had a very strong feministic opinion knowing, from her point of view, that, “If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them,”. The death of Truth came with a great legacy and her name will always be remembered. Sojourner Truth is recognized as one of the most exceptional women’s rights activists and abolitionists who escaped slavery, and will continue to be remembered for her great impact and legacy on the United States.
