Klappentext

Among the pioneers of radical thought, there are few names more important than that of Emma Goldman (1869-1940), who made her life a study in the struggle against the authoritarian state, the privileged and upper class bourgeois forces that array against the common man their nightstick of power, corruption and avaricious wealth. The essays are a collection of anarchist thought from the pioneering activist who helped define what that philosophy of struggle actively entails. They will serve as an illuminating collection both for students of history, as well as those modern revolutionaries who wage their modern struggle against the system of today.
