Anarchism And Other Essays: Her most important expositions on politics, psychology, drama, women's rights, and more.

Emma Goldman's most important essays on politics, psychology, drama, women's rights, and more, now available in a high quality budget edition. Essential reading for anyone interested in anarchist thought and Goldman's unique contribution to it.

Anarchist and feminist EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) is one of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Lithuania, she emigrated to the United States as a teenager, was deported in 1919 for her criticism of the U.S. military draft in World War I, and died in Toronto after a globetrotting life. An early advocate of birth control, women's rights, and workers unions, she was an important and influential figure in such far-flung geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. Among her many books are My Disillusionment in Russia (1925) and Living My Life (1931).
