Beschreibung des Verlags
“If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.”
EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) was notorious. She was a radical feminist. She was an anarchist. She advocated Atheism. Free Love. Birth control. Equality for Women.
Often called “the most dangerous woman in America,” she stood trial for “illegally distributing information about birth control.”
She was involved in a conspiracy to murder industrialist Henry Frick. She was thought to have inspired the assassination of U.S. President William McKinley. She was deported in 1919 for organizing against the U.S. military draft in World War I, (“inducing persons not to register”) and in 1940, died in Toronto.
This collection of Emma Goldman’s essays are but a brief introduction to her audacity and rebelliousness.
They demonstrate how in time she would become a lasting symbol throughout the world for her opposition to the domination and repression of a powerless citizenry by governments, corporations, and violent authority.
