One of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late 19th
and early 20th centuries, EMMA GOLDMAN (18691940) was an anarchist,
a feminist, a pacifist, a communist, a unionist, and a proponent of
birth control and free love. Her extreme notions made her as much
an object of outrage as one of reverence in the tumultuous years of
the Gilded Age, World War I, and the Roaring Twenties, and her name
remains, to this day, synonymous with ideas of sweeping cultural
revolution. Here, in her two-volume memories, first published in
1931, she tells her life story. From her arrival in New York as a
20-year-old seamstress, when she immediately launched into a life
of activism and public agitation, she recalls her childhood in
Lithuania, her immigration to the U.S. as a teenager, and her wild
adventures as an independent and intelligent woman: baptizing
babies on a beer barrel, supporting workingmens strikes, traveling
in Europe] An important and influential figure in such far-flung
geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil
War, Goldman is one of the most storied people of the 20th century.
And her story, in her own inimitable words, is one of the great
biographies, and one of the great personal histories of a turbulent
era.
