Emma Goldman

For Emma Goldman, the High Priestess of Anarchy, anarchism was a living force in the affairs of our life, constantly creating new conditions, but the most elemental force in human life was something still more basic and vital: sex. The Sex Question emerged for Goldman in multiple contexts, and we find her addressing it in writing on subjects as varied as women s suffrage, free love, birth control, the New Woman, homosexuality, marriage, love, and literature. It was at once a political question, an economic question, a question of morality, and a question of social relations. But her analysis of that most elemental force remained fragmentary, scattered across numerous published (and unpublished) works and conditioned by numerous contexts. Anarchy and the Sex Question draws together the most important of those scattered sources, uniting both familiar essays and archival material, in an attempt to recreate the great work on sex that Emma Goldman might have given us. In the process, it sheds light on Goldman s place in the history of feminism."

Emma Goldman är en av anarkismens och kvinnorörelsens stora gestalter. Hon blev personlig vän med Louise Michel och Pjotr Kropotkin och många, många fler av dåtidens radikaler, anarkister och modernister i Amerika, Europa och Ryssland. Som uppmärksammad agitator och feminist föreläste "Röda Emma" över hela USA om fri kärlek och födelsekontroll, om statens förtryck av individer och om den nya litteraturen. Hon trakasserades och fängslades och utvisades slutligen till Sovjetunionen, där hon mötte bland andra Lenin, Gorkij, Kropotkin och Kollontaj. Besviken på den unga Sovjetstaten ? där revolutionen redan börjat stelna till statsbyråkrati ? lämnade Emma Goldman landet efter ett par år. Resten av sitt liv levde hon i exil i Europa. Anarkistiska minnen är ett utdrag ur Emma Goldmans mer omfattande självbiografi som inte bara är en viktig socialpolitisk historik, utan också ett kulturhistoriskt dokument av stort intresse. I denna självbiografi skildrar hon sitt äventyrliga liv i USA och Sovjetunionen under ett par händelserika decennier före och efter sekelskiftet 1800-1900. Anarkistiska minnen är en levande och närvarande klassiker. Emma Goldman lyckas återberätta sina erfarenheter så som bara en stor författare förmår.

Marriage and Love by Emma Goldman is a thought-provoking and insightful essay that explores the complex and often controversial topics of marriage and love. Drawing upon her own personal experiences and observations, Goldman challenges traditional notions of marriage and argues that it is an oppressive institution that stifles individual freedom and creativity. She also examines the role of love in relationships and argues that it should be based on mutual respect, shared values, and a deep understanding of one another's needs and desires. Throughout the book, Goldman provides a compelling critique of the societal norms and expectations that shape our understanding of love and marriage, and offers a powerful vision for a more just and equitable future.
