Emma Goldman

This book was quite interesting about the life of Emma Goldman, who she was, and what she went through. Came to me in great shape.

An Excellent Biography of an American Woman

Emma Goldman: American Individualist is a full account of the life of one of America's most notorious anarchists. The author, John Chalberg, takes the reader from her life as a poor, abused, and repressed youngster in Russia to the United States where the blood of the workingman gives her a purpose. But, not only does Chalberg concern the reader with Emma Goldman and anarchism, he also gives a nice account of other radicals of the time, such as socialism and communism and their most noted leaders. Thus, this book provides an excellent source of American history and politics as it is coming into the age of industry. Furthermore, Chalberg presents Emma Goldman, not as an evil, unruly, unamerican anarchist, but as a dedicated, motherly, sympatheic woman simply dedicated to helping the struggling American. Emma Goldman: American Individualist is insightful, well organized, and well executed.
