Anarchism and Other Essays
By Emma Goldman (1869-1940)

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing, and speeches. She
played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in
the first half of the twentieth century. Born in Russia, Goldman emigrated to the US in 1885 and lived in
New York City, where she became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women’s
rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands. Goldman was imprisoned several times for
“inciting to riot” and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the
anarchist journal Mother Earth. In 1910, she collected a series of speeches and items she had written for
Mother Earth and published Anarchism and Other Essays. In addition to a comprehensive look at
anarchism and its criticisms, the book includes essays on patriotism, women’s suffrage, marriage, and
prisons. (Summary extracted from wikipedia)
