Anarchism; Atheism; Christianity -- Controversial literature
¶ Including a biographic SKETCH of the author's interesting career,
a splendid PORTRAIT, and twelve of her most important lectures,
some of which have been suppressed by the police authorities of
various cities. This book expresses the most advanced ideas on social
questions--economics, politics, education and sex.
_Second Revised Edition_
Emma Goldman--the notorious, insistent, rebellious, enigmatical Emma
Goldman--has published her first book, "Anarchism and Other Essays." In
it she records "the mental and soul struggles of twenty-one years," and
recites all the articles of that strange and subversive creed in behalf
of which she has suffered imprisonment, contumely and every kind of
persecution. The book is a vivid revelation of a unique personality.
It appears at a time when Anarchistic ideas are undoubtedly in the
ascendant throughout the world.--_Current Literature._
Emma Goldman's book on "Anarchism and Other Essays" ought to be read
by all so-called respectable women, and adopted as a text-book by
women's clubs throughout the country.... For courage, persistency,
self-effacement, self-sacrifice in the pursuit of her object, she has
hitherto been unsurpassed among the world's women.... Repudiating as she
does practically every tenet of what the modern State holds good, she
stands for some of the noblest traits in human nature.--_Life._
Every thoughtful person ought to read this volume of papers by the
foremost American Anarchist. In whatever way the book may modify
or strengthen the opinion already held by its readers, there is no
doubt that a careful reading of it will tend to bring about greater
social sympathy. It will help the public to understand a group of
serious-minded and morally strenuous individuals, and also to feel
the spirit that underlies the most radical tendencies of the great
labor movement of our day.--Hutchins Hapgood in _The Bookman_.
