The papers were acquired and processed and a portion of them was microfilmed with the support of the Alice R. Sigelman Philanthropic Fund of the Jewish Communal Fund and the Friends of the Schlesinger Library. In addition to the material inventoried here the papers include many of EG's printed articles and books, volumes I-XI of Mother Earth , clippings about EG, and periodicals, newspapers and pamphlets pertaining to the anarchist movement. This part of the collection is in very fragile condition and will be closed to research until it is microfilmed.

Goldman, Emma
Emma Goldman By courtesy of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin (1869-1940), anarchist In 1895, upon her release, Goldman embarked on lecture tours of Europe and the United States. Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President William McKinley, claimed to have been inspired by her, although there was no direct connection between them, and by that time she had repudiated her earlier tolerance of violence as an acceptable means of achieving social ends. In 1906 Berkman was freed, and he and Goldman resumed their joint activities. In that year she founded Mother Earth, a periodical that she edited until its suppression in 1917. Her naturalization as a U.S. citizen was revoked by a legal stratagem in 1908. Two years later she published Anarchism and Other Essays. Goldman spoke often and widely, not only on anarchism and social problems but also on the current European drama of Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, G.B. Shaw, and others. She was instrumental in introducing many European playwrights to an American audience. Her lectures on that topic were published in 1914 as The Social Significance of the Modern Drama.

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) stands as a major figure in the history of American radicalism and feminism. An influential and well-known anarchist of her day, Goldman was an early advocate of free speech, birth control, women's equality and independence, union organization, and the eight-hour work day. Her criticism of mandatory conscription of young men into the military during World War I led to a two-year imprisonment, followed by her deportation in 1919.

Jew Watch Top Jewish Mind Control: Anarchism: Emma Goldberg ( The Reader's Companion to American History ) Goldman, Emma (1869-1940), anarchist and feminist. Opponent of established authority, war, and totalitarian government, Emma Goldman was the most famous rebel of her day. A passionate activist andcharismatic speaker, she committed her life to radical causes in Europe and America. Born in a Jewish ghetto in Lithuania, Goldman immigrated to the United States when she was sixteen. Reared in a Jewish tradition of prophecy and opposition to injustice, her early experience molded by Russian anti-Semitism and reading in Russian nihilist literature, Goldman was destined to become a critic of her newly adopted country, just as she was of the Old World she left behind. But it was the hanging in 1887 of four Chicago anarchists accused of murdering policemen in the Haymarket affair that led her to dedicate her life to political radicalism. A sewing machine operator in a corset factory, she concluded that she and other workers were exploited by factory owners. She was attracted to anarchism not only because it promised to replace capitalism with worker cooperatives but because anarchism espoused atheism, free speech, and freedom from sexual inhibition. Like many other anarchists of her day, Goldman also flirted with the idea of political violence. During the Homestead strike of 1892 she helped her lover, Alexander Berkman, plan the attempted assassination of steel mill owner Henry Clay Frick. A year later Goldman spent a year in prison for telling unemployed workers to steal bread if they had to. She was also implicated in President William McKinley's assassination.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldman/peopleevents/p_goldman.html
A born propagandist and organizer, Emma Goldman championed women's equality free love workers' rights , free universal education regardless of race or gender, and anarchism. For more than thirty years, she defined the limits of dissent and free speech in Progressive Era America. A World Ruled by Fear
Goldman was born in 1869 in Lithuania to a Russian-Jewish family of shopkeepers. She was educated in East Prussia and in St. Petersburg, where she moved with her family in 1881, months after the assassination of Czar Alexander II. Goldman lived in a world ruled by fear and the ubiquitous secret police, a world in which even the mildest expression of dissent would be summarily crushed. As a teenager, she began to embrace the ideas of the Russian revolutionary movement. The movement imagined a society of free equals, a tantalizing Utopia in which all problems could be solved on earth, by ordinary people. Its proponents were committed to removing a Czarist regime at any cost. Disappointed by America
In 1885 Goldman emigrated to the United States. In America, her hopes outran the dreary reality of working in a Rochester clothing factory and a brief, unhappy marriage to a fellow worker. A year after her arrival, she was shocked by the trial, conviction, and execution of labor activists falsely accused of a bombing in Chicago's Haymarket Square. After their deaths, Goldman declared that America "had proved most disappointing."

Emma Goldman biography
EMMA GOLDMAN, SOCIAL PIONEER (1869-1940) Early Life bodyOffer(5282) A Lithuanian by birth, Emma Goldman was born in Kovno on June 27, 1869. At age twelve, her family moved to St. Petersburg, and four years later, in 1881, they arrived in the U.S. They settled in Rochester, New York. Emma became a factory worker and earned $2.50 a week for sewing ulsters ten and half hours a day. Rebellion As she passed into her twenties, Goldman began rebelling against the "system." She became an advocate of free love. This brought her into conflict with a mainly repressive, puritanical society. Added to this, she supported the rioters in Chicago’s Haymarket Square in 1886 and through this she met Alexander Berkman, with whom she fell in love. In 1889, she went to New York City where she came under the influence of Johann Most, a radical editor. Thus, the direction of her life was firmly established as one of radicalism. This was shown in the Homestead Steel Plant Strike of 1892. On July 6, a battle broke out at the steel plant in Pittsburgh between the strikers and the strikebreaker Pinkerton organization. Three detectives and ten workers were killed. Berkman decided to assassinate the plant owner, Frick. He did not want Emma to join him on his mission. However, she decided to earn money to buy a gun to aid her lover. She chose to get the money as a streetwalker. Fortunately for her, one of the potential clients took pity on her, gave her enough money, and sent her home untouched. For his part, Berkman did shoot Frick but failed to kill him. He was sentenced to twenty two years in prison. Goldman’s part in the attempt could not be proven; however, she wrote many articles in praise of Berkman as the avenger of the workers killed at the Homestead Plant. This brought her to the attention of the police. So much so that when she addressed a rally in Union Square in August of 1893, she was arrested and sentenced to one year on Blackwell’s Island.

Emma Goldman (1869-1940). Socialist, anarchist, and feminist, Goldman was born in Russia and emigrated in 1885 to New York City, where she worked in clothing factories and began writing and lecturing on behalf of reform movements, including feminism and birth control. In 1893, she was arrested for inciting a riot after urging a group of unemployed workers to take food by force. In 1919, after serving time in prison for agitating against military conscription and U.S. involvement in World War I, she was deported to Russia, whose revolution in 1917 she had hailed as the dawn of a just society. After two years, she left Russia to travel in a number of countries, including Germany, England, and Canada.

    The Anarchist Encyclopedia:
Emma Goldman, (1869-1940) "Emma Goldman was a principal exponent of Anarchism, which she herself characterized as "the philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary." Her commitment to Anarchism and her activist inclinations led her to champion the causes of labor, anti-militarism, atheism, prison reform, and women's rights not just in the U.S. but abroad as well. After her deportation to Russian in 1919, and subsequent disillusionment with the so-called Soviet revolution, Emma never gave up hope that her anarchist ideals might still find fertile ground. She saw the flower bloom in Spain. Citizens and workers, organized by the CNT-FAI, the Anarcho-Syndicalist union, quickly suppressed the July, 1936 uprising of the army, led by General Franco, in both Barcelona and the countryside. Emma, 67 years old, rushed to lend her support. Working on propaganda broadcasts she traveled to London as a CNT-FAI representative seeking support and money for the cause.

Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Goldman, Emma Anarchist (1869-1940) Emma Goldman grew up in a petit-bourgeois Jewish family in the Baltic region of Russia. (Her birthplace is today part of Lithuania.) After emigrating to the United States at age 16, she worked in a Rochester garment factory before settling in New York City in 1889. Already influenced in her youth by the radical culture of St. Petersburg, she soon joined the anarchist movement and met lifelong comrade Alexander Berkman. In these early years, she advocated violence and helped Berkman plot to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick. As her thinking evolved, she later rejected terrorism in favor of tireless political organizing. Over the next three decades, Goldman threw her energies into lecturing, editing and mobilizing protests. She fought countless battles for free speech and civil liberties. Though expressing little interest in the suffrage cause, she critiqued the social and economic subordination of women and was an early advocate of birth control.
The U.S. government targeted "Red Emma" for her radical activities, jailing her on several occasions and stripping her citizenship in 1908. In 1917, Goldman and Berkman were imprisoned again for protesting military conscription. During the post-WWI anti-Bolshevik fervor, the government deported both to Russia. After two years, however, Goldman fled the new Soviet Union, profoundly disillusioned with the authoritarian state and its disregard for civil liberties. She spent the last two decades of her life travelling between France, England and Canada, still actively promoting her humanist brand of anarchism. Summing up her lifelong struggle, one historian writes, "Offering an invaluable counterstatement to the pragmatic faith of progressives and socialists in the omnicompetent state, she fought for the spiritual freedom of the individual at a time when the organizational walls were closing in."
