Description:

As a young woman in America, Emma Goldman campaigned for such then-controversial issues as the eight-hour work day and abolition of the draft. Because of her revolutionary activities, she was deported in 1919 to her Russian homeland. Horrified by what she saw in major cities and revolted by the Bolshevik dictatorship, she left the country in 1921 and soon after set down her thoughts, speaking passionately about political harassment and forced labor, industrial militarization, and the persecution of anarchists. This volume will be of value to teachers and students and will appeal to anyone interested in the socio-economic problems of the early twentieth century.
