2011 Reprint of 1911 Edition. 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. Anarchism was central to Goldman's view of the
world and she is today considered one of the most important figures
in the history of anarchism. First drawn to it during the
persecution of anarchists after the 1886 Haymarket affair, she
wrote and spoke regularly on behalf of anarchism. In the title
essay of her book Anarchism and Other Essays, she wrote:
"Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human
mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human
body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles
and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order
based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of
producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every
human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the
necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and
inclinations."
