The words "cup," "pint," and "quart" refer to opportunities and resources. Robinson presents this idea more objectively, removing subjectivity from language.
<h3>Who was Sojourner Truth?</h3>
- She was a former slave.
- She was an activist for the rights of black people and black women.
When Sojourner Truth spoke the words "cup," "pint," and "quart" she was making an analogy about the resources and opportunities available to individuals.
She claimed that resources and opportunities for blacks were very few, especially for black women. These few opportunities and resources were depleted by those who had the most social facilities, that is, had larger cups, pints, and quarts.
Robinson reformulated this discourse more objectively, using words that showed the disadvantages of black women in a more direct and denotative way.
