The Best Books About Activists

October 2024 · 1 minute read

After arriving in America as a Jewish immigrant at the age of 17, Emma Goldman found her way from working as a seamstress to speaking internationally on politics, economics, and oppression. Her essays remain relevant today, with prescient views on incarceration, feminism, political violence, sexuality, religion, nationalism, and more.

This biography combines Goldman’s public discourse with her “sometimes sappy, often moving, ever scandalous love letters” to paint an unprecedented picture of the radical activist’s life.
