Emma Goldman, 1869-1940
Emma Goldman was an anarchist and pioneering feminist and birth control advocate. Born in Russia, she emigrated to the US, where she was described by J. Edgar Hoover as "one of the most dangerous women in America".
She helped her lover Alex Berkman in his assassination attempt of industrialist Henry Clay Frick due to his role in killing Homestead strikers, and put on popular speaking tours.
She was deported illegally to Russia in 1919, where she and Berkman became outspoken critics of the Bolshevik regime. She was active up until her death.
