Anarchism and Other Essays, Paperback

Emma Goldman, once considered "the most dangerous woman in America," was a thinker so far ahead of her time that even to a modern reader, her views sound startlingly revolutionary. This collection of essays is an excellent introduction to her thoughts: ranging from her views on women's liberation, the role of theater, the prison system, and the tactics of dissent. All are filled with her fearless joyousness, her radical dedication to the idea that life is meant to be a source of delight--and that escaping the meaningless drudgery of daily life must be achieved by any means necessary.
