Sojourner Truth lectured to audiences, an extremely uncommon occurrence during her time.

Explanation:

Sojourner Truth lived during the 1800s, so we're talking about no women's rights, or at least very few.

Women during her time succumbed to higher authority (usually men) and normally did not make their voices heard, especially to large audiences.

Sojourner Truth, however, went against this "norm" and lectured to audiences mainly about women's rights and freedoms. Her bravery and passion blazed the way for other women's activists.

Hope this helps!
