they were both former slaves. The difference in the two writers was Truth was not very educated and but self-developed much like Douglass, most of her writing was written down by someone else. In Truth’s “Speech to the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio,1851” Truth say’s “I can’t read, but I can hear” (Truth 775).
