Living My Life (Penguin Classics)

Living My Life (Penguin Classics)
Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famousâ€”and notoriousâ€”woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattanâ€™s Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Leninâ€™s Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, Living My Life is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence.
- First time in Penguin Classics
- Condensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era
