In the 1890s and for years thereafter, America reverberated with the name of the notorious Anarchist, feminist, revolutionist and agitator, Emma Goldman. This book is a collection of her remarkably penetrating essays, far in advance of their time
Twelve essays by the influential radical include "Marriage and Love," "The Hypocrisy of Puritanism," "The Traffic in Women," Anarchism," and "The Psychology of Political Violence." Other enduringly relevant essays examine patriotism, the failure of the penal system, and drama as a means of conveying political theory.
