From
Wikipedia
Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) aka 'Red Emma',
was a Kaunas, Lithuania-born anarchist known for her writings and speeches.
She was lionized as an iconic "rebel woman" feminist by admirers,
and derided as an advocate of politically motivated murder and violent
revolution by her critics.
Goldman played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political
philosophy in the United States and Europe in the first half of the twentieth
century. In particular she incorporated gender politics into anarchism
which, if at all, had only been hinted at by earlier anarchists. She emigrated
to the United States at seventeen and was later deported to Russia, where
she witnessed the results of the Russian Revolution. She spent a number
of years in England and in Southern France where she wrote her autobiography,
Living My Life, and other works, before taking part in the Spanish Civil
War in 1936 as the English language representative in London of the CNT-FAI.(more)

Who Tell the Truth
Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman was born in Kovno, Russia and emigrated to live with a sister
in Rochester, New York, when she was fifteen. Her family’s financial
hardships had forced her to leave school and work in a factory, and her
first work in America was as a seamstress in a clothing factory.
Her political consciousness was shaped by reading (Cherychevsky, Kropotkin)
as well as by first-hand knowledge of miserable working conditions and,
most dramatically, by the violent outcome of the Haymarket demonstrations
on behalf of the eight-hour workday (1886), following which four Anarchists
were executed for allegedly causing the deaths of seven policemen. In
1889 Goldman moved to New York where she first became a protegee of Johann
Most, editor of an Anarchist paper. From 1906 until 1917, she and her
partner, Alexander Berkman, edited and published their own paper, Mother
Earth. She wrote five books: Anarchism
and Other Essays (1910); Social
Significance of the Modern Drama (1914); My Disillusionment in Russia
(1923); My Further Disillusionment in Russia (1924); Living
My Life (1931).

The
Case for Anarchy
by Charles Demers
Obviously, the writers of political biographies needn't share the
politics of their subject -- in fact, if they did have to, then the cottage
industry of books about Hitler would be even more disturbing than it already
is. Nevertheless, when the biographer's politics do complement those of
the life being described, the result can be a particularly passionate
and engaging piece of writing.
Anarchy
in Interpretation: The Life of Emma Goldman
by Jason Wehling
Emma Goldman was many things -- a feminist, a writer and an incredible
public speaker -- but first and foremost, she was an anarchist. Not coincidentally,
her life in many ways parallels the life of anarchism as a movement. Anarchism,
although its roots are dated much earlier, was born just two years after
Emma's birth. Bakunin, a Russia revolutionary, like Emma was to become,
split the international communist movement in two, creating anarchists,
who followed Bakunin, and Communists, who saw Karl Marx as their teacher.
Emma lived through the era of anarchist terror reigned upon the rulers
of the world and experienced the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.
Ironically, George Woodcock writing in 1962 about the history of the anarchist
movement declared anarchism dead in 1939 with the untimely demise of Spanish
anarchism (Woodcock, 443); Emma died a mere year and a half after this
defeat at the hands of Franco's Fascists.
