Customer Reviews

Way ahead of its time.
Emma Goldman was that most rare individual, someone with great intelligence, sensitivity and personal power who did not lust after power over others. By circumstance and our good fortune, a woman who could have spent a quiet middle class life turned into an idealistic firebrand, whose ideas and clarity of expression are still light years beyond many of the crackpots who have taken up her banner. This book deserves a serious look by anyone who wonders why politics never seem to get anywhere. It also refreshingly shows why government is wrong without also pandering to cigar chomping Babbits and their toadies.
