The tragedy at Buffalo - Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman's defense of Leon Czolgosz, the anarchist who shot William McKinley.
For they starve the little frightened child

And some grow mad, and all grow bad,
And none a word may say.
—Oscar Wilde.

Submitted by working class s... on Jan 8 2012 18:51
Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous-and notorious-woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin's Bolshevik experiment, and more.
