• She was clearly upset that women did not have the same rights as men. It shows that she was unstable and could not speak well.

• She repeats the phrase to make a point; she does not get the same treatment as white women, yet she can do as much (if not more) as a man. It shows she does not need any special treatment because she is a woman.
