介绍（中）	出生于纽约州阿尔斯特县一个奴隶家庭的伊莎贝拉·鲍姆弗里（Isabella Baumfree），索杰纳·特鲁斯（Sojourner Truth）可能在底特律的一家匿名摄影师工作室拍摄战争中最具标志性的肖像之一。这位67岁的废奴主义者从未学习过阅读或写作，她在编织时停下来，沉思地看着镜头。她不仅是弗雷德里克·道格拉斯（Frederick Douglass）的反奴隶制活动家和同事，还是一位回忆录作家和坚定的女权主义者，她表明自己致力于维护女性工作的尊严。Sojourner Truth不仅是这部剧的演员，也是该剧的作者，她比大多数演员都更喜欢这部剧。她利用这张卡片来宣传并为自己的许多事业筹集资金：《我卖阴影来支持物质》。旅居者的真相尾饰上的印记是保姆用鲜红色墨水书写的声明，以及以她的名字命名的密歇根州1864年版权。通过控制自己的形象，她的"影子"，Sojourner Truth可以卖掉它。这样一来，她成为了解放后奴隶和自由人、妇女选举权和摄影媒介的时代最进步的倡导者之一。在一次人权会议上，Sojourner Truth评论说，她"过去被出卖是为了他人的利益，但现在她为了自己的利益出卖了自己"
介绍（英）	Born Isabella Baumfree to a family of slaves in Ulster County, New York, Sojourner Truth sits for one of the war’s most iconic portraits in an anonymous photographer’s studio, likely in Detroit. The sixty-seven-year-old abolitionist, who never learned to read or write, pauses from her knitting and looks pensively at the camera. She was not only an antislavery activist and colleague of Frederick Douglass but also a memoirist and committed feminist, who shows herself engaged in the dignity of women’s work. More than most sitters, Sojourner Truth is both the actor in the picture’s drama and its author, and she used the card mount to promote and raise money for her many causes: I Sell the Shadow to Support the Substance. SOJOURNER TRUTH. The imprint on the verso features the sitter’s statement in bright red ink as well as a Michigan 1864 copyright in her name. By owning control of her image, her “shadow,” Sojourner Truth could sell it. In so doing she became one of the era’s most progressive advocates for slaves and freedmen after Emancipation, for women’s suffrage, and for the medium of photography. At a human-rights convention, Sojourner Truth commented that she “used to be sold for other people’s benefit, but now she sold herself for her own.”
