Editorial reviews
In the early 19th century, anarchist Emma Goldman was described as "the most dangerous woman in America". Her radical thought still seems highly contemporary in this audiobook, as she explores social and personal problems that are conspicuous today.
Suzanne Toren captures the politics and opinions of this seminal thinker like a powerful orator at a podium. Her bold and impeccable delivery is a fitting match for the substance of Anarchism and Other Essays, an accessible book that was clearly ahead of its time. The performance opens with an illuminating biographical sketch of Goldman and then proceeds to express Goldman's opinions on everything from imprisonment to prostitution.
Publisher's Summary
Among the men and women prominent in the public life of early 20th-century America there are but few whose names are mentioned as often as that of Emma Goldman. Yet the real Emma Goldman is almost quite unknown. The sensational press has surrounded her name with so much misrepresentation and slander, it would seem almost a miracle that, in spite of this web of calumny, the truth breaks through and a better appreciation of this much maligned idealist begins to manifest itself. Here are powerful, penetrating, prophetic essays on direct action, the role of minorities, prison reform, puritan hypocrisy, and violence.

Shining example of critical thinking!
Emma Goldman has written something that should awaken many to the unfairness of society today, and the necessity for people to take their responsibilities, not wantonly throw them to others in hope for salvation. They'll find none.

A timeless call to action
Emma Goldman's firebrand voice - her perceptive criticism of capitalist society, her deep love of humanity, and her commitment to a better world - is just as relevant today as when she lived. A passionate, eloquent call to action for a freer and more just world.
