Goldman, Emma (1869–1940), Russian‐born exponent of anarchism⧫, came to the U.S. (1886) and soon began to write and lecture in behalf of various reform movements, including feminism and birth control. Her anarchist speeches, and the magazine
Mother Earth, which she founded in 1906, attracted wide attention. She was twice jailed, once for advocating pacifism during World War I. In 1919 she and an associate, Alexander Berkman, were deported to Russia, but their dislike for the Bolshevist regime and their criticism of it led to their leaving the country. Miss Goldman's autobiography,
Living My Life (1931), was published from her home in France, and her other works include
Anarchism and Other Essays (revised edition, 1911),
The Social Significance of the Modern Drama (1914), and
My Disillusionment in Russia (1925).
