Loudmouth: Emma Goldman vs. America (A Love Story)
Deborah Heiligman
This biography examines the life and activism of Emma Goldman, a Jewish anarchist who arrived in the United States in 1885. Her early years in Lithuania and St. Petersburg included abuse from her father, experiences that strengthened her independence and resistance to authority. In New York City, she worked as a seamstress, joined anarchist circles, and formed important relationships with Johann Most, Alexander Berkman, and Modest Berkman. The Homestead steel strike hardened her political beliefs, leading Sasha Berkman to attempt Henry Clay Frick’s assassination.
