Living My Life

English· 42:43:43· 79 chapters

The famous and celebrated Emma Goldman gives a detailed account of her life and development as an anarchist and caring human being. This is a life-changing read. Though present in the United States for most of her life, she traveled extensively and was given audience with the most and least powerful, especially those of post-revolution Russia. The events and opinions extend only to 1927 though she died in 1940. - Summary by Christine Rottger

BCs: Nichole Di Dio and Christine Rottger
