Sojourner Truth (born Isabella "Belle" Baumfree; c. 1797 - 1883) was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist. She became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. In 2014, Truth was included in Smithsonian magazine's list of the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time".
