Anarchism & Other Essays, published in 1911, is the work of feminist anarchist Emma Goldman. Anarchism is a political philosophy which believes that government, or a governing body is unnecessary. Goldman discusses this philosophy and also its relationship to the fight for the emancipation of women and the state of marriage.
Qué gran mujer!
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.
