About this audiobook
Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman (1869–1940) was an anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Born in present-day Lithuania to a Jewish family, Goldman immigrated to the United States in 1885. Attracted to anarchism after the Chicago Haymarket affair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women’s rights, and social issues. In 1917, Goldman and fellow anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to “induce persons not to register” for the newly-instated draft. After their release from prison, they were arrested—along with 248 others—in the Palmer Raids during the First Red Scare and deported to Russia. Goldman later left the Soviet Union and in 1923 published a book about her experiences, My Disillusionment in Russia. She died in Toronto, Canada, in 1940, at the age of seventy.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5After reading this I find all disagreements between nearly anyone on the anti-capitalist left to be utterly ridiculous. Goldman is a much more engaging writer than many of the other revolutionary actors and is also underrated as a theatre critic. The woman who did the reading was excellent, imbuing the text with the emotion it was surely written to convey.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pretty spicy book. Narrator sounds exactly like what I would imagine Goldman would sound like.
