Anarchism and Other Essays

Emma Goldman has enjoyed renewed interest, thanks to her inclusion in the smash broadway hit Ragtime, where this visionary writer, activist and anarchist was brought to life and given a compelling voice in the events that unfold. Anarchism and Other Essays was published in 1910, yet Goldman's views are as provocative and pertinent or today's audience as they were for the period in which she wrote; her fiery take on the prison system, women's rights (including women's health), atheism and even patriotism transcend the decades since she put pen to paper and illustrate the timelessness of the human condition and society's ills.
