Answer: The correct answer is option: A) Has struggled as both a slave and a woman.

Explanation: ''Ain't I a woman?'' is a speech given by Sojourner Truth in 1851 at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio. She talks about how she was treated absolutely horrifically. She mentions that she got worked like a man and beaten like a man, so she asks the question, ''ain't I a woman?'' to confront racism and people who consider her less of a woman and human being only because of her color. She proves that she has struggled as both a slave, a woman and a human being.
