The speech was briefly reported in two contemporary newspapers, and a transcript of the speech was published in the Anti-Slavery Bugle on June 21, 1851. It received wider publicity in 1863 during the American Civil War when Frances Dana Barker Gage published a different version, one which became known as Ai n't I a Woman? because of its oft - repeated question. This later, better known and more widely available version has been the one referenced by most historians.
