Living My Life
by Emma Goldman
'Living My Life' Summary
Emma Goldman's autobiography, "Living My Life," is a two-volume work that covers her life from her early childhood in Lithuania to her years as an activist in the United States. Goldman's memoir is a captivating account of her personal and political experiences, and it provides valuable insights into the development of the anarchist movement in the early 20th century. Goldman was born in Kovno, Lithuania, in 1869. Her family was poor, and she began working in a factory at a young age. In 1885, she emigrated to the United States with her sister. Goldman quickly became involved in the anarchist movement, and she soon became one of its most prominent leaders. Goldman was a tireless advocate for free speech, feminism, and immigration rights. She was also a vocal critic of capitalism and war. In 1919, she was arrested and deported from the United States. She spent the rest of her life in exile, but she continued to write and speak out against injustice. "Living My Life" is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on the history of anarchism and the fight for social justice. Goldman's writing is clear, concise, and engaging, and her memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social movements.Book Details
