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
