Helene Minkin joined the anarchist movement after emigrating from Russia in 1888 with her father and sister. Partner of one of the most infamous anarchists of her time, Johann Most, Minkin's memoir provides a unique account of turn-of-the-century anarchism and immigrant life in the United States. Framed as a reaction and corrective to Emma Goldman's Living My Life, it was first published in the Yiddish-language newspaper Forverts in 1932. This is its first English translation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Helene Minkin, a Jewish immigrant in America, dedicated to the cause of freedom, gives her account of her life in the anarchist movement. As the partner of Johann Most, one of the most infamous anarchists of his time, Helene Minkin had a unique behind-the-scenes view of crucial episodes in revolutionary history. Most of what we know of this period has remained fairly static for close to a century. In particular, little in the way of new primary sources have found their way to publication. This title sheds new light on an incredibly important time in history. A Jewish immigrant in America, dedicated to the cause of freedom, gives her account of life in the anarchist movement.
