In her free time Helene maintains an educational site for children and teachers about using shadow puppetry at home and in the classroom. She posted instructions online about how to make a puppet of Sojourner Truth that children may use to act out the speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” and compare it with the earlier version. http://www.pasttimeshistory.com/sojourner-truth-speech/
