Elizabeth's review
Living My Life (Penguin Classics) by Emma Goldman
I picked this up randomly at the book store one day. Emma Goldman is one of the most amazing unheard of women in American History. This is part of a time in American history that gets swept under the carpet, along with the Haymarket Riots in Chicago. I was greatly influenced by her stubbornness and tenderness. If you want to know more about anarchism/communism and the feminist movement in the late part of the 19th century and early 20th century, here is a first hand account.
Emma Goldman is one of my heroes. I used to go read bits of her writing in the library during undergrad. It felt wrong but then I realized it was all right to be radical.
