Sojourner truth begins her speech my friends I am rejoiced that you are glad but I don't know how you will feel when I get through. What does she mean by this how does it reflect the purpose of argument?

Sojourner Truth means that her speech also covers the rights for women and it reflects the argument that the fight for equal rights was not for colored men alone, but for colored women too.

Explanation:

Though, Sojourner truth was happy with the equal rights for all American citizens, she was unhappy that this right was not extended to women as well.

In her opinion, slavery was only partly destroyed and not fully eradicated. It could be fully eradicated, if equal rights are given to women too. If women are not given their rights, slavery will continue to exist in the form of men ruling over the women.

She felt that white women got more privileges than colored women and were more smarter. Whereas, the colored women had to do all the hard work, earn money only to be taken away by the men folk.

She wanted the colored women to be financially independent and given equal respect.
