"Anarchism asserts the possibility of an organization without discipline, fear, or punishment, and without the pressure of poverty: a new social organism which will make an end to the terrible struggle for the means of existence,--the savage struggle which undermines the finest qualities in man, and ever widens the social abyss. In short, Anarchism strives towards a social organization which will establish well-being for all." - Emma Goldman Please Note: This book has been reformatted to be easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

Emma shoots straight from the hip from the get-go, letting the reader know what she is (a propagandist for anarchy) and what she intends to do (propaganda for anarchy).
Knowing that, we get an interesting look at the early 20th century from an anarchist lens: some major events, how anarchists responded and other topics like women's liberation on drama critiques.
The perspective we get comparing and contrasting Emma's thoughts at the time with prevalent conversations of today creates an intriguing dialogue where concerns then are revealed to not be so different from concerns now.
This is not a book that details the philosophical foundations of anarchy. It is instead a collection of approachable essays written from an anarchist viewpoint.
