Twelve years later, the organizer of the convention, Frances Dana Barker Gage, published a version of the speech in <i>The New York Independent<\/i>. This version, written with a southern dialect, became known as the \u201cAin\u2019t I a Woman?\u201d speech. Sojourner Truth was born and raised in New York speaking Dutch for the first nine years of her life and, according to accounts, did not speak in southern dialect.\u00a0 The earlier version did not contain the phrase \u201cAin\u2019t I a Woman?\u201d anywhere in the speech and had other details that were markedly different from the later version.
