      Introduction

      In her time known as the most dangerous woman in the United States, Emma Goldman is popularly known for her writing, political speeches, and political activism. She is also called an ‘anarchist’ by some biographers and historians. She was born on 27th of June, 1869, in Kovno in the Russian Empire.

      She remained highly active in North America and Europe and played a very influential and central role in the development of anarchist political philosophy. She spread her message all through North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century.

      In 1885, she left her country and emigrated to the United States. She began to live in New York City. Only after four years, in 1889, she joined the flourishing anarchist movement.

      It is generally reported that Goldman got attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair. She studied the anarchist philosophy and began to write on the subject. In the following years, she became a popular lecturer on anarchist philosophy, social issues, and women’s rights. It is said that she attracted people in huge numbers to her programmes where she delivered her highly emphatic speeches.

      Alexander Berkman, another anarchist writer, was her lover and lifelong friend. Both of them conspired to assassinate Henry Clay Frick who was a famous industrialist and financier. They wanted to have that crime committed as an act of propaganda of the deed.

      An attempt was made on Frick’s life but, fortunately, he escaped unhurt. As a result, Berkman was arrested and after the trial sent to jail for twenty two years. In the following years, Goldman was also jailed many times. She was often charged with inciting to riot and illegally distributing information about birth control.

      Goldman did not get discouraged and continued her efforts. In the year 1906, she founded Mother Earth, an anarchist journal.

      The government had introduced a draft but it is said that Goldman and Berkman encouraged people not to register. On this charge both Goldman and Berkman were sent to jail for two years.

      When they were released from jail, they were arrested again. Along with hundreds of other Russians they were deported to Russia.

      Having come back to Russia, Goldman did not remain quiet. She was initially highly supportive of the Bolshevik revolution, but when there was the Kronstadt rebellion she changed her opinion. She vehemently denounced Russia for brutally suppressing independent voices.

      In the year 1923, Goldman published a book titled My Disillusionment in Russia. From Russia, she visited England, France, and Canada. She lived in these countries for several years.

      While living in Europe and Canada, she wrote her autobiography titled Living My Life. When the Spanish Civil War broke out, she visited Spain. She wanted to support the anarchist revolution in Spain.

      At the age of 70, on
