Emma Goldman (1869–1940) played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century and her influence remains strong to this day.
Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands. She died in Toronto on May 14, 1940, aged 70.
During her life, Goldman was lionized as a free-thinking "rebel woman" by admirers and derided by critics as an advocate of violent revolution. Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, free love, and homosexuality; she even developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into feminism and anarchism. After decades of obscurity, Goldman's iconic status was revived in the 1970s when popular culture rekindled interest in her life.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Good+. New American Library / Meridian, October 1977. Trade Paperback. Fifth printing. Good+. Interior tanned, but unmarked. Spine creased. Rubbing and reading wear to covers. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 754 pages, 4 leaves of plates : ill. ; 21 cm. Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous--and notorious--woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan's Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era and the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin's Bolshevik experiment, the movement to legalize birth control (she was Margaret Sanger's mentor), and the movement for women's sexual and economic freedom.
