Emma Goldman, Lithuanian-American Anarchist

Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 - May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-American anarchist. Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, she became a writer and lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues. In 1892, she and Alexander Berkman, were unsuccessful in their attempt to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick. Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Goldman served prison and jail terms and in 1908 she was deprived of her citizenship. In 1917, Goldman and Berkman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to induce men not to register for the newly instated draft. After their release from prison, they were re-arrested and deported to Russia. Goldman quickly voiced her opposition to the Soviet use of violence and the repression of independent voices. She left the country in 1921 and two years later wrote a book about her experiences, My Disillusionment in Russia. She spent her final years aiding the anti-Franco forces in Spain through lecturing and fund-raising. Succumbing to a stroke and its effects, she died in Canada in 1940 at the age of 70.
