The classic collection of Emma Goldman essays originally published in 1910. Emma Goldman is widely known as the first major female radical and became the female face of anarchist politics in the early 20th century. Anarchism and Other Essays should be read by anyone interested in early works on women's rights or the origins of leftist female politics. Emma Goldman is the black sheep of history in a lot of regards. America wants to forget her contributions to culture and society - such as worker rights and unions who owe something to Goldman. Her insight on gender equality, workers rights and even the theater are appealing.
A short introduction to the subject, ideas, and ideals by Emma Goldman. The history of human growth and development is at the same time the history of the terrible struggle of every new idea heralding the approach of a brighter dawn. In its tenacious hold on tradition, the Old has never hesitated to make use of the foulest and cruelest means to stay the advent of the New, in whatever form or period the latter may have asserted itself. Nor need we retrace our steps into the distant past to realize the enormity of opposition, difficulties, and hardships placed in the path of every progressive idea. The rack, the thumbscrew, and the knout are still with us; so are the convict's garb and the social wrath, all conspiring against the spirit that is serenely marching on.

A reprint of two essays by the tough as nails anarchist Emma Goldman. Minorities vs. the Majorities tackles the state itself and the patterns that play out between the haves on top, and have nots square on the bottom. State sponsored individualism is an oxymoron, and Emma Goldman intends to prove it. In the second essay, Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty, Emma equates patriotism and its implied fierce loyalty with a blanket acceptance of violent government policy, from war spending to extolling the virtues of military history in schools.
This remarkable collection of Emma Goldman's writings on the Spanish Revolution, expertly edited and explained by retired SUNY politics professor David Porter, is the history text you wish you'd had to read in school. Goldman's voice is clear, thrilling, and strong, and the debates she raises transcend the topical issues at hand, making this book as relevant to the modern anarchist as to the historian.
