Anarchism and Other Essays
About this book
"Anarchism and Other Essays" by Emma Goldman is a collection of essays published in 1910. Goldman's first book presents her anarchist perspectives on women's oppression, feminism, prisons, political violence, sexuality, religion, and nationalism. Adapted from her lecture tours, the essays challenged both conventional society and first-wave feminism itself. Goldman chose publication over lecturing, hoping to reach readers genuinely interested in learning rather than audiences seeking spectacle. "The Traffic in Women" became particularly influential in feminist scholarship, sparking debates about marriage, sexuality, and women's liberation that continue today.
