Book summary

At the start of the twentieth century, Emma Goldman, who came from Russia to the United States at sixteen, travels the country defending anarchism, the dream of a society without masters. In these essays she attacks prisons, patriotism, loveless marriage and Puritan hypocrisy, and defends women's right to decide their own lives.

Born from her lectures, her writing is direct and hard-hitting. Even today it makes us think about what makes each of us truly free.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read these committed texts in the language you are learning.
