by Emma Goldman

About 4 h 31 min of reading16 chapters

Anarchism and Other Essays, published in 1910, gathers the lectures Emma Goldman had delivered across the United States for a decade. The title essay sets out what she means by anarchism and why she thinks property, the state and organized religion stand in the way of individual freedom. The others take up minorities and majorities, the psychology of political violence, prisons, patriotism, the execution of the Spanish educator Francisco Ferrer, the hypocrisy of puritanism, the traffic in women, woman suffrage, the tragedy of woman's emancipation, marriage and love, and the modern drama as a carrier of radical ideas. A biographical sketch by Hippolyte Havel opens the volume. Goldman writes plainly and angrily; the essays on women remain the most read. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
