To those who, inspired by Emma Goldmans ideals, continue to meet the challenges
necessary' to uphold the fragile right o f dissent, to imagine a more just and sane world,
and to devote themselves to the cause o f freedom.
The publication of the microfilm edition and its companion volume, Emma Goldman: A Guide
to Her Life and Documentary Sources, would not have been possible without the unwavering sup
port of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) of the National
Archives. We dedicate the Correspondence series to the N I1PRCs Deputy Director, Roger Bruns;
and the Government Documents series to the memory of Sara Dunlap Jackson, the NHPRCs long
time archivist. With their historical, archival, and administrative guidance combined with goodnatured friendship, we launched the Emma Goldman Papers Project.
The Goldman Writings series, which includes translations of Goldmans work, is dedicated to
the memory of the Projects European and Asian search coordinator, Brenda Butler, who died at the
age of thirty-seven, just after completing five years of work on the Project. Much of the collections
material tracing Goldmans international significance is in tire collection because of Brenda Butlers
persistence and her sensitivity to the distinct cultures and polities of the many contributing archives
and research associates around the world.
The late Sarah Crome, cofounder and first research associate of the Emma Goldman Papers
Project, was an inspiration to all of us for her untiring commitment to the cause of freedom. An
unsung heroine in her own time, Sarah never sought public praise, but The Emma Goldman Papers
would not have been the same without her.

The World o f Emma Goldman:

A Bibliographical Essay
In 1969, nearly sixty years after it first appeared, Dover Publications published a paperback
edition of Emma Goldmans Anarchism and Other Essays. Almost a quarter-century later Dover
still sells fifteen hundred copies annually, and its 1970 paperback edition of her autobiography,
Living My Life (1931), also remains in printtestimony to the continuing interest in Goldmans life
and ideas. With the publication of the microfilm edition of The Emma Goldman Papers, research
ers will be able to supplement these volumes and other collections of Goldmans work with facsimi
les of her correspondence, government surveillance and legal documents, and other published and
unpublished writings on an extraordinary range of issues.
The purpose of this essay is to assist users of the microfilm who are unfamiliar with Goldmans
historical milieu by alerting them to bookssecondary sources identified in the course of the Projects
fourteen years of research that will provide context for the documents in the collection. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive bibliography; it is confined for the most part to books, excluding, for
example, articles in scholarly journals as well as anarchist newspapers and pamphlets. Included,
however, arc accounts by Goldman and her associates of the movements and conflicts in which they
participated that are essential for an appreciation of the flavor of their culture and of the world they
attempted to build. Over the years, many of these sources have been reprinted; others have remained
out of print for decades (for example, Alexander Berkmans Bolshevik Myth). Wherever possible
the fullest publishing history has been provided to aid readers in locating books that, despite occa
sional reprintings, can still be difficult to find.
For more extensive bibliographies, readers should consult Paul Nursey-Bray, Jim Jose, and
Robyn Williams, eds., Anarchist Thinkers and Thought: An Annotated Bibliography (Westport,
Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1992); the unannotated compilation by Robert Goehlert and Claire Herczeg,
Anarchism: A Bibliography (Monticello, 111.: Vance Bibliographies, [1982]); and the catalogue of
the anarchist collection at the Institut Franais d Histoire Sociale, Paris: Janine Gaitlemin, MarieAude Sowerwinc-Mareschal, and Diana Richet, eds., V anarchisme: Catalogue de livres et bro
chures des XIXe et XXe sicles (Paris and Munich: K. G. Saur, 1982), An especially thorough
bibliography can be found in David DeLeon, The American as Anarchist: Reflections on Indig
enous Radicalism (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1978). O f historical interest is one
of the earliest bibliographies of anarchism, compiled by the anarchist historian Max Nettlau, a
frequent correspondent of Goldmans. See Bibliographie de l anarchie (Brussels: Bibliothque des
Temps Nouveaux, 1897; rpt. ed., New York: Burt Franklin, 1968), with a preface by Elise Reclus.
Finally, always valuable are the bibliographies in the books by Paul Avrich (see below).

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY
G oldman's Whitings
The starting point for anyone interested in Goldman is her thousand-page autobiography, Liv
ing My Life, 2 vols. (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1931; ipt, ed., Garden City, N.Y.: Garden City
Publishing Company, 1934), which covers her life thoroughly through her departure from Soviet
Russia in 1921 but devotes comparatively little space to her activities during the 1920s. Three years
in the writing, Living My Life did not sell as many copies as Goldman had hoped, a victim of the
depression and the high price of $7.50 for the two volumes. Still, Goldman was buoyed by the
generally favorable reviews of her work. Friends compared the book to Rousseaus Confessions;
reviewers saw her lifes story as an antidote to complacency. The central theme of the book is the
passionate intensity of Goldmans commitment to her beautiful ideal of anarchism and her parallel
quest for love and intimacy. When the book appeared, however, some readers and reviewers were
shocked by Goldmans candor in discussing her personal life, missing its centrality to her political
convictions. Her attempt to reconcile the personal and political, however, found a strong resonance
in the revitalized womens movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Living My Life has been reprinted
many times. A two-volume paperback edition is still in print (New York: Dover Publications, 1970).
Other modern reprints include a two-volume edition, with an introduction by Sheila Rowbotham
(London: Pluto Press, 1986); a one-volume unabridged edition, with an introduction by Candace
Falk and a remembrance by Meridel Le Sueur (Salt Lake City: Gibbs M. Smith, 1982); a facsimile
reprint of the 1931 Knopf edition (New York: Da Capo Press, 1970); and a one-volume abridged
edition that ends with Goldmans deportation from the United States in 1919, edited with an afterword
and bibliographical essay by Richard and Anna Maria Drinnon (New York: New American Library,
1977). The editors of this edition performed an especially useful service by compiling a new and far
more comprehensive index to replace the hopelessly inadequate original.
In addition to its serialization in Yiddish in the Forward in 1931 (see reel 52 of The Emma
Goldman Papers microfilm), Goldmans autobiography has been published in other languages: for
example, in German as Gelebtes Leben, 3 vols., trans. Renate Orywa and Sabine Vetter (Berlin:
Karin Kramer Verlag, 1978-1980); in an abridged French edition, Epopee d u n e anare.hisle: New
York 1886-Moscou 1920, trans. Cathy Berriheim and Annette Levy-Willard (Paris: Hachctte, 1979);
and in Italian, Vivendo la mia vita, 3 vols., trans. Michele Buzzi (Milan: La Salamandra 19801986).
Goldman s monthly magazine, Mother Earth, which she published in New York from March
1906 to August 1917, is an important source for those interested in her ideas and the anarchist
movement of the period. Often the day-to-day operation of the magazine was in the hands of others,
most notably Max Baginski and for many years Alexander Berkman, freeing Goldman to spread
anarchist ideas, build a readership, and raise money for the magazine through nationwide lecture
lours. But Mother Earth bore the stamp of its founder, especially in its melding of art and politics,
in addition to her essays many of them revisions of lectures- -and articles on different aspects of
anarchism, Mother Earth published original poems and short stories; excerpted works by writers
such as Tolstoy, Maxim Gorki, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Oscar Wilde and reprinted poems by Will
iam Morris and Walt Whitman; reported on labor and civil liberties disputes; kept its readers abreast
of developments in the international anarchist and labor movements; and often featured striking
graphics on its cover.
22
Mother Earth helped to revitalize the anarchist movement in the United States, acting as a hub
for its intellectual life and attracting readers and supporters from beyond the ranks of the movement
by its eclectic contents and especially its unflinching defense of free speech. Its pages provided
countless local groups with a forum to advertise meetings and lectures and for endless fund-raising
appeals. Each issue carried advertisements for books and pamphlets on anarchism and other top
icsadvertisements that are a valuable resource for researchers trying to recover the political and
cultural locus of the movement. Finally, the magazines offices also served as a publishing house:
The Mother Earth Publishing Association published some of the most important anarchist books of
the period, including Goldmans Anarchism and Other Essays and Berkmans Prison Memoirs.
Ail twelve volumes have been reprinted in the Radical Periodicals in the United States, 1890 I960 series (New York: Greenwood Reprint Corporation, 1968). Unaccountably the reprinted
volumes appeared under the title, Mother Earth Bulletin, the name of the journal that succeeded
Mother Earth after the latter was banned from the mails under a provision of the wartime Espionage
Act. Mother Earth Bulletin was published from October 1917 to April 1918, when it met the same
late as its predecessor. After Goldmans imprisonment and the suppression of the Bulletin, Stella
Ball anti nc tried to keep her aunts voice before the public through a mimeographed newsletter with
the wonderfully ironic title, Instead o f a Magazine (recalling Benjamin R. Tuckers In s te a d o f a
Book). The newsletter, however, lasted just one issue (a copy of it can be found on reel 61 of The
Emma Goldman Papers microfilm).
Goldman revised many of her early lectures and essays and collected them in Anarchism and
Other Essays (New York: Mother Earth Publishing Association, 1910). The book includes Anar
chism: What It Realty Stands For, Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty, and The Tragedy of Womans
Emancipation, among other essays, as well as a forty-page biographical sketch of Goldman by
Hippolyte Havel. A reprint of the third revised edition (1917), with a new introduction by Richard
Drinnon, is still in print (New York.: Dover Publications, 1969). Other modern reprints have ap
peared in German as Anarchismus, seine wirkliche Bedeulung, trans. Sabine Wolski and Ulrich
Schwalbe (Berlin: Eibertad Verlag, 1978); and in Italian as Anarchia, femminismo e attri saggi.
Rails. Roberto Massari (Milan: La Salamandra, 1976).
In addition to political topics, trom the early 1900s Goldman wrote and lectured on modern
European drama. Her essays on playwrights such as Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Gerhart
I lauplmann, George Bernard Shaw, and Anton Chekhov were revised and published as The Social
Significance o f the Modern Drama (Boston: Richard G. Badger, 1914), which has been reprinted
(New York: ApplauseTheatre Book Publishers, 1987).
Goldmans accounts of her experiences in Soviet Russia and what she saw as the Bolsheviks
betrayal of the revolution were translated into many languages (see reel 49 of The Emma Goldman
Papers microfilm). When her book, My Disillusionment in Russia (Garden City, N.Y.; Doubleday,
Page & Company, 1923), appeared, Goldman was dismayed that Doublcday, Page & Company had
replaced her title, My Two Years in Russia, without her knowledge. Even worse, the publisher cut
the last twelve chapters of the manuscript, omitting her account of crucial events such as the Kronstadt
rebellion and an afterword in which she reflected on the trajectory of the revolution after the Bolshe
viks seized power. The publisher attempted to rectify the situation by publishing the omitted chap
ters as a separate volume: My Further Disillusionment in Russia (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday,
23
Page & Company, 1924). The complete text in one volume, with an introduction by Rebecca West,
appeared the following year: My Disillusionment in Russia (London: C. W. Daniel Company, 1925).
With the resurgence of interest in Goldman in the 1960s and 1970s, a new edition of the complete
text, with Frank Harriss biographical sketch of Goldman from his Contemporary Portraits (see
below), was published (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, Apollo Editions, 1970).
A useful anthology of Goldmans essays and speeches drawn from the entire span of her career,
arranged topically under Organization of Society, Social Institutions, Violence, and Two
Revolutions and a Summary, is Alix Kates Shulman, ed., Red Emma Speaks: Selected Writings
and Speeches by Emma Goldman (New York: Vintage Books, 1972), which has been reprinted
(New York: Schocken Books, 1982).
Two collections of Goldmans letters from her years in exile from the United Stales have been
published. Richard and Anna Maria Drinnon, eds., Nowhere at Home: Letters from Exile o f Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman (New York: Schocken Books, 1975), is an outstanding, often
moving collection of letters. Arranged thematically under Communism and the Intellectuals.
Anarchism and Violence, Women and Men, and Living the Revolutionthe letters are distin
guished by the candor and passion with which their authors engage issues and by the deep bond of
affection between two lifelong comrades. David Porter, ed., Vision on Fire: Emma Goldman on the
Spanish Revolution (New Paltz, N.Y.; Commonground Press, 1983), includes letters on all aspects
of the anarchist struggle in the Spanish civil war. The historical context is established by extensive
introductions and commentaries, and the texts of the letters are thoroughly annotated.
B iographies
of
G oldman
There are now a number o f scholarly biographies of Goldman. The earliest, Richard Drinnons
Rebe1 in Paradise: A Biography o f Emma Goldman (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1961,
1982), remains indispensable and has been reprinted (Boston: Beacon Press, 1970); and (New York:
Harper & Row, 1976). For full documentation of his sources, see Emma Goldman: A Study in
American Radicalism (Ph.D. diss., University of Minnesota, 1957). Two biographies explore the
intersection of Goldmans public and private lives. Candace Falk, Love, Anarchy, and Emma Gold
man (New' York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1984; rev. ed., New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers Univer
sity Press, 1990), offers a challenging view of the theory and practice of anarchism, and Goldmans
relation to it, through the prism of her personal life. (Published in German as Liebe und Anarchie
dr Emma Goldman: Ein erotischer Briefwechsel; Eine Biographie, trans. Dita Stafski and Helga
Woggon [Berlin: Karin Kramer Verlag, 1987].) Alice Wexler, Emma Goldman: An Intimate Life
(New York: Pantheon Rooks, 1984)reprinted as Emma Goldman in America (Boston: Beacon
Press, 1986)which covers Goldmans career through her deportation in 1919, and Wexlers sec
ond volume, Emma Goldman in Exile: From the Russian Revolution to the Spanish Civil War
(Boston: Beacon Press, 1989), concentrate especially on the character of Goldmans anarchism. A
brief survey of Goldmans life focusing on the American years with little attention to her years in
exile is John Chalberg, Emma Goldman: American Individualist (New' York: HarperCollins, 1991).
Martha Solomon, Emma Goldman (Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1987), focuses on Goldman as a
writer and rhetorician. Marian J. Morton, Emma Goldman and the American Left: Nowhere at
24
Home (New York: Twaync Publishers, 1992), leans heavily on secondary works, intending to place
Goldmans activities in the context of the broader Left during her lifetime. Fuller coverage of
Goldmans work on behalf of the Spanish anarchists during the civil war can be found in a biography
by veteran anarchist and chronicler of the movement Jos Pcirats. See Emma Goldman: Anarquista
de ambos mundos (Madrid: Campo Abierto Ediciones, 1978); reprinted as Emma Goldman: Un
mujer en la tormenta del siglo (Barcelona: Editorial Laia, 1983). An issue o f the journal Itineraire:
Une vie, une pense (no. 8, 1990), published in Chelles, France, is devoted to Goldman and her
circle. Other issues of the same journal have focused on Peter Kropotkin, Rudolf Rocker, and Errico
Malatesta.
A lexander B erkman
Anyone interested in Goldman must also consult works by Berkman, her chum of a lifetime.
Their friend and comrade Mollie Steimer described them as inseparable emotionally and spiritually.
Neither of them ever wrote a major article or a book without consulting the other. Berkmans
editorial skills were considerable, as evidenced by his work on Mother Earth and in the substantial
contribution he made to shaping Living My Life. Berkman was also a writer of grace and power, as
his three major works testify-. Regrettably, he never wrote an autobiography, though in the early
1930s he sketched an outline for one through 1919. See Drinnon and Drinnon, eds., Nowhere at
Home, xxv-xxvili.
Writing his first book, Prison Memoirs o f an Anarchist (New York: Mother Earth Publishing
Association, 1912), introduction by Hutchins Hapgood, finally enabled Berkman to slay the ghosts
that had haunted him since his release. It has been reprinted, with a new introduction by Paul
Goodman (New York: Schockeo Books, 1970); and in another edition, with an afterword by Kenneth
Rexroth (Pittsburgh: Frontier Press, 1970). An account of his fourteen-year imprisonment for at
tempting to assassinate Henry Clay Frick, the book is a classic of the genre o f prison writing, chroni
cling the brutality of the prison regime and the evolution of his attitudes toward his fellow prison
ersincluding a sympathetic discussion of homosexualitywith compelling honesty. The book
also appeared in Yiddish: Gefengenen erinerungen fun an anarchist, 2 vols., ed. M. Katz and R.
Frumkin (New York: M. E. Fitzgerald, 1920 -1921).
Berkman loaned Goldman the diary he kept in Russia to help her write My Disillusionment in
Russia, though he always believed that her free use of it detracted considerably from the impact of
his subsequent account of the two years they spent in Russia, published as The Bolshevik Myth
(Diary 1920 -1922) (New York: Boni and Liveright, 1925). The publisher rejected the final chapter
of his manuscript as an anti-climax from a literary standpoint, prompting Berkman to publish it
separately as The Anti-Climax: The Concluding Chapter oj My Russian Diary; The Bolshevik
Myth ([Berlin]: n.p., [1925]). The complete work has recently been republished, with a new intro
duction by Nicolas Walter (London: Pluto Press, 1989). Berkmans earliest essays on Russia were
published in three pamphlets The Russian Tragedy, The Russian Revolution and the Communist
Parly, and The Kronstadt Rebellionin Berlin in 1922. They have been collected and reissued as
The Russian Tragedy (Sanday, Orkney: Cienfuegos Press, 1976), with an introduction by William
G. Nowlin. Jr.
Commissioned by the Jewish Anarchist Federation of New York to prepare a primer on anar
chism that would be accessible to the average reader and help dispel the popular myths surrounding
the topic, Berkman found the book excruciatingly difficult to write (see his letters to Goldman in the
summer and fall of 1927 on reels 18 and 19 of this collection). Nonetheless, Paul Avrich, the leading
historian of anarchism, considers Now and After: The ABC o f Communist Anarchism (New York:
Vanguard Press/Jewish Anarchist Federation, 1929), a classic, ranking with Kropotkins Conquest
o f Bread as the clearest exposition of communist anarchism in English or any other language. A
recent republication, with a new introduction by Avrich and Goldmans preface to the 1937 edition,
appeared under the title What Is Communist Anarchism? (New York: Dover Publications, 1972).
An abridged edition, ABC o f Anarchism, first published in London in 1942 and reprinted many
times, is still available (London: Freedom Press, 1971), with an introduction by Peter E. Newell.
Following the untimely death ofVoltairine de Cleyre in 1912, Berkman edited a collection of her
writings: Selected Works ofVoltairine de Cleyre (New York: Mother Earth Publishing Association,
1914), with a biographical sketch by Hippolyte Havel. The collection has been reprinted (New York:
Revisionist Press, 1972). His relationship with de Cleyre was less conflicted than was Goldmans.
He held her in high esteem as a writer and fellow anarchist. A faithful correspondent while Berkman
was imprisoned, de Cleyre provided emotional and intellectual support after his release and espe
cially while he was writing Prison Memoirs.
Berkmans labor weekly, The Blast, which he edited and published in San Francisco from Janu
ary 191.6 to May 1917 with the assistance of M. Eleanor Fitzgerald, has also been reprinted in the
Radical Periodicals in the United States, 1890-1960 series (New York: Greenwood Reprint Cor
poration, 1968).
Under the auspices of the International Committee for Political Prisoners, Berkman compiled
and edited a valuable collection of material documenting the Bolsheviks proscription of civil liber
ties and persecution of revolutionary groups and parties in the early years of the Soviet state. Com
prising correspondence, testimonies, affidavits, and interviews of political prisoners and exiles, Let
ters from Russian Prisons (New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1925), has also been reprinted
(Westport, Conn.: Hyperion Press, 1977).
A useful selection from Berkmans major works plus letters and articles from The Blast is Gene
Fellner, ed,, Life o f an Anarchist: The Alexander Berkman Reader (New York: Four Wails Eight
Windows, 1992). Berkman will finally receive the attention he deserves when Paul Avrich completes
the biography he is currently writing.

Goldman wrote at length in her autobiography about the formative influences on her political
ideas, from the Russian populists and nihilists of her adolescence apotheosized for her in the char
acter of Vera in Nikolai Cherny she vskys novel What Is to Be Done?--to the Haymarket martyrs
and her mentor Johann Most. As important an influence as the Russian anarchist theorists Michael
Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin were, Goldman could also draw upon a native radical tradition in the
United States of communitarianism and resistance to government authoritya tradition that found
political expression in the utopian and abolitionist movements before the Civil War and resonated
especially in the writings of Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman.
The execution of the Haymarket anarchists was the catalyst for Goldman's decision to devote
her life to their ideal of anarchism. The best account of the affair is Paul Avriclrs magisterial The
Haymarket Tragedy (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1984). Still useful is Henry David, The
History o f the Haymarket Affair: A Study in the American Social-Revolutionary Tradition, 2d ed.
(New York: Russell and Russell, 1958). Dave Roediger and Franklin Rosemont, eds., Haymarket
Scrapbook (Chicago: Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company, 1986), is an excellent compilation of
contemporary accounts of the affair and its aftermath, remembrances, scholarly articles, and illus
trations. On the condemned men themselves, see Philip S. Foner, ed., The Autobiographies o f the
Haymarket Martyrs (New York: Humanities Press, 1969). The diversity of the social and cultural
milieu of anarchism in Chicago is demonstrated in Bruce C. Nelson, Beyond the Martyrs: A Social
History o f Chicago's Anarchists, 1870 -1900 (New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 1988).

The intellectual foundations of communist anarchism were laid in the nineteenth century by the
Russians Michael Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin. Multivolume collections of Bakunins works have
been published in French and German, and most of his major works are available in English transla
tion. Useful anthologies include Sam Dolgoff, ed., Bakunin on Anarchy: Selected Works by the
Activist-Founder o f World Anarchism (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1972), which was reprinted as
Bakunin on Anarchism (Montreal: Black Rose Books, 1980); and G. P. Maximoff, The Political
Philosophy o f Bakunin: Scientific Anarchism (Glencoe, 111.: Free Press, 1953; rpt. ed., New York:

The A merican Years
The period o f Goldmans life in the United States when she was at the peak of her influence is
well documented in autobiographies and reminiscences by other participants in the radical, labor,
and literary movements of the time. Readers should bear in mind, however, that after World War I
the radicals who once had cooperated took different political paths. The accounts they wrote of
earlier years sometimes reflect a changed political orientation; others took the opportunity to settle
old scores. With reference to Goldman, then, the following books should be consulted with care.
William D. Haywood, Bill Haywood's Book: The Autobiography o f William D. Haywood (New
York: International Publishers, 1929), reprinted many times; and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, I Speak
My Own Piece: Autobiography o f The Rebel G irl (New York: Masses & Mainstream, 1955); rev.
ed., The Rebel Girl: An Autobiography; My First Life (1906-1926) (New York: International
Publishers, 1973), cover the lives of two leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) who
28
occasionally worked closely with Goldman. Maiy Heaton Vorse, A Footnote to Folly: Reminis
cences o f Mary Heaton Vorse (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1935); and Hutchins Hapgood, A
Victorian in (he Modern World (New York: Ilarcourt, Brace and Company, 1939), are excellent
autobiographies by two author/joumalists whose sympathies were with the radicals. Both Margaret
Sanger, My Fight fo r Birth Control (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1931), and Margaret Sanger:
An Autobiography (New York: W. W. Norton, 1938; rpt. ed., New York: Dover Publications, 1971)
slight Goldmans role in publicizing birth control ideas and her influence on Sanger. Max Eastman,
Enjoyment o f Living (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1948); and Floyd Dell, Homecoming: An
Autobiography (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1933; rpt. cd., Port Washington, N.Y.: Kennikat
Press, 1969), include reflections on their years on the Masses before World War I. Mabel Dodge
Luhan, Intimate Memories, vol. 3: Movers and Shakers (New York: Ilarcourt, Brace and Com
pany, 1936; rpt. ed., Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1985), is a prolix but irresist
ible memoir by the woman who confected the most memorable Greenwich Village salon of the 1910s.
Margaret Anderson, the founder and editor of the Little Review, includes whimsical blit sometimes
acute observations of Goldman in My Thirty Years' War: An Autobiography (New York: Covici,
Friede, 1930; rpt. ed., Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1971).
The radical movement in the United States of the World War I era has attracted some outstand
ing scholarship. For the anarchists, see Margaret S. Marsh, Anarchist Women, 1870 -1920 (Phila
delphia: Temple University Press, 1981); the relevant chapters in Avrich, Anarchist Portraits: Paul
Avrich, An American Anarchist: The Life o f Volt.ai.rine de Cleyre (Princeton: Princeton University
Press, 1978); Paul Avrich, The Modern School Movement: Anarchism and Education in the United
States (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1980); Paul Avrich, Sacco and Vanzetti: The Anar
chist Background (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1991); the essays in Antonio Donno, ed.,
America anarchica (1850 -1930) (Manduria, Italy: Piero Lacaita Editore, 1990); Roger A. Bruns,
The Damndest Radical: The Life and World o f Ben Reitman (Urbana: University of Illinois Press,
1987); and Dorothy Gallagher, All the Right Enemies: The Life and Murder o f Carlo Tresca (New
Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 1988; rpt. ed., New York: Penguin Books, 1989). For
the Jewish anarchist movement from a participants perspective, see the account in Yiddish by Jo
seph Cohen, Diyidish-anarkhistishe bavegung in Amerike (Philadelphia: Radical Library Branch
273, Workmens Circle, 1945).
The best overview of the years immediately preceding World War I is still Henry F. May, The
End o f American Innocence: A Study o f the First Years o f Our Time, 1912-1917 (New York: Alfred
A. Knopf, 1959; rpt. ed., Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1964). On the cultural and political radical
ism of Greenwich Village before the war, see Arthur Frank Wertheim, The New York Little Renais
sance: Iconoclasm, Modernism, and Nationalism in American Culture, 1908-1917 (New York:
New York University Press, 1976); Leslie Fishbein, Rebels in Bohemia: The Radicals o f The
Masses, 1911-1917 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1982); and Rebecca Zurier,
Art for The Masses: A Radical Magazine and Its Graphics, 1911-1917 (Philadelphia: Temple
University Press, 1988), which is an excellent introduction to this literary contemporary of Mother
Earth and covers much more ground than its title and subtitle suggest. Two important books on the
intersection of art and politics in the period are Steve Golin, The Fragile Bridge: Paterson Silk
Strike, 1913 (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1988); and Martin Green, New York 1913:
The Armory Show and the Paterson Strike Pageant (New York: Charles Scribners Sons, 1988; rpt.
ed., New York: Collier Books, 1989).
For the various strands of the womens movement in this period, see, for example, Nancy Coll,
The Grounding o f Modern Feminism (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987); Mari Jo Buhle,
Women and American Socialism, 1870 -1920 (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1981); Meredith
Tax, The Rising o f the Women; Feminist Solidarity and Class Conflict, 1880 -1917 (New York:
Monthly Review Press, 1980); Rosalyn Fraad Baxandall, Words on Fire: The Life and Writing o f

On the birth control movement, see Linda Gordon, Womans Body, Womans Right; A Social
History o f Birth Control in America (New York: Grossman, 1976; rpt. ed., New York: Penguin
Books, 1977); James Reed, From Private Vice to Public Virtue: The Birth Control Movement and
American Society since 1830 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1978); and Ellen Chesler,
Woman o f Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America (New York: Simon
& Schuster, 1992). Goldmans fight for birth control was part of a broader battle she waged for
economic self-determination and for womens right to sexual freedom. See Bonnie Haaland, Emma
Goldman: Sexuality and the Impurity?o f the State (Montreal: Black Rose Books, 1993). Goldman
found support for her ideas in the work of European feminists such as Ellen Key. See Ellen Key,
Love and Marriage, trans. Arthur G. Chater, introduction by Havelock Ellis (New York: G. P.
Putnams Sons, 1911; rpt. cd., New York: Source Book Press, 1970); The Woman Movement, trans.
Mamah Bouton Borthwick, introduction by Havelock Ellis (New York: G. P. Putnams Sons, 1912;

E. B. Fries (New York: G. P. Putnams Sons, 1914; rpt. ed., New York: Source Book Press, 1970).
For the historical precursors o f Goldmans work, see Hal D. Sears, The Sex Radicals: Free Love in
High Victorian America (Lawrence: Regents Press of Kansas, 1977); and Sheila Rowbolham and
Jeffrey Weeks, Socialism and the New Life: The Personal and Sexual Politics o f Edward Carpenter
and Havelock Ellis (London: Pluto Press, 1977). The work of Carpenter and Ellis also informed
Goldmans lectures on homosexuality.
On the IWW, see Mclvyn Dubofsky, We Shall Be All: A History o f the Industrial Workers o f
the World (Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1969; 2d ed., Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1988);
and Philip S. Foner, History o f the Labor Movement in the United States, vol. 4: The Industrial
Workers o f the World, 1905-1917 (New York: International Publishers, 1965). For the anarchosyndicalist bent of the IWW and its expression in the art and culture of the Wobblies, see Salvatore
Salerno, Red November, Black November: Culture and Community in the Industrial Workers o f the
World (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1989). See also Peter Carlson, Roughneck:
The Life and Times o f Big Bill Haywood (New York: W. W. Norton, 1983); and Joseph R. Conlin,
Big Bill Haywood and the Radical Union Movement (Syracuse, N.Y.: Syracuse University Press,
1969). The spirit of the Wobblies is wonderfully evoked in Joyce L. Kornbluh, Rebel Voices: An
I.WAV. Anthology>(Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1964; rev. ed., Chicago: Charles H,
Kerr Publishing Company, 1988).
Goldman and Berkman opposed U.S. entry into World War I and were convicted in 1917 of
conspiring to obstruct the draft, one of numerous cases prosecuted under a battery of wartime legis
lation designed to crack down on dissent. Fueled by the success of the Bolsheviks in Russia, the
atmosphere of intolerance did not abate after the wars end, and ad hoc groups and emergency
30
committees formed during the war to protect civil liberties came together in 1920 to found the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union. On this period, see Paul L. Murphy, World War I and the Origin o f Civil
Liberties in the United States (New York: W. W. Norton, 1979); William Preston, Jr., Aliens and
Dissenters: Federal Suppression o f Radicals, 1903-1933 (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University
Press, 1963); Richard Polenberg, Fighting Faiths: The Abrams Case, the Supreme Court, and Free

Roger Baldwin, Founder o f the American Civil Liberties Union: A Portrait (Boston: Houghton
Mifflin, 1976). After Goldman and Berkman were released from prison in 1919, J. Edgar Hoover
took charge of the deportation case against them. On Hoovers career, see Richard Gid Powers,
Secrecy and Power: The Life o f J. Edgar Hoover (New York: Free Press, 1987); and Athan G.

Russ A
Aside from Goldmans and Berkmans own accounts (cited above), three books by Paul Avrich
are directly relevant to their experience in Russia. The Russian Anarchists (Princeton: Princeton
University Press, 1967; rpt. ed,, New York: W. W. Norton, 1978), which includes an excellent
bibliography, traces the intellectual origins of Russian anarchism in the late nineteenth century through
the 1905 revolution to the anarchists role in 1917 and their subsequent suppression by the Bolshe
viks. The Anarchists in the Russian Revolution (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1973), a
collection of documents, includes writings by many of Goldmans comrades who later were part of
the community of Russian anarchist exiles in Germany and France. Kronstadt, 1921 (Princeton:
Princeton University Press, 1970) is the fullest account of the rebellion by sailors in the Gulf of
Finland against the authoritarian and centralizi ng tendencies of the Bolsheviks. For an account of
the most sustained anarchist resistance to both Bolshevik power and anti-Bolshevik forces during the
revolutionary period, see Michael Pali), The Anarchism o f Nestor Makhno, 1918-1921: An Aspect
o f the Ukrainian Revolution (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1976).
Two accounts by anarchist participants in the revolutionary period are G. P. Maximoff, The
Guillotine at Work: Twenty Years o f Terror in Russia (Data and Documents) (Chicago: Chicago
Section of the Alexander Berkman Fund, 1940), reprinted in an abridged edition as The Guillotine
at Work, vol. 1: The Leninist Counter-Revolution (Sanday, Orkney: Cienfuegos Press, 1979); and
Voline [V. M. Eikhenbaum], La rvolution inconnue, 1917-192 J : Documentation indite sur la
Rvolution russe (Paris: Amis de Voline, 1947; rpt. ed., Paris; Editions Pierre Bclfond, 1969), parts
of which were published in English in the mid-1950s, with a biographical introduction by Rudolf
Rocker, by Freedom Press (London) and the Libertarian Book Club (New York). The complete
work was published as The Unknown Revolution, 1917-192!, trans. Holley Cantine (New York:
Free Life Editions, 1974). Angelica Balabanoff, first secretary of the Third International and an
intimate of Lenin, befriended Goldman and Berkman during their years in Russia and remained close
to them after she broke with the Soviet leadership. See her memoirs, My Life as a Rebel (New York:
Harper & Brothers, 1938).
The E xile Years
Goldmans years in Europe and Canada between her departure from Russia and the beginning of
the Spanish civil war were among the most dispiriting of her life, culminating in the death of Berkman
in June 1936. During that period she relied on correspondence to stay in touch with family and
friends in the United States while she renewed contacts with European associates and exiled Russian
comrades and developed new friendships where her work took her.
Friends and family alike among Goldmans American correspondents were connected with the
arts, especially the theater. Her favorite niece, Stella, was married to Teddy Bailanline, an actor and
occasional director with the Provincetown Players. M. Eleanor FitzgeraldGoldmans beloved
Fitzi, who occupied many roles at Mother Earth was the moving force behind the scenes of the
Provincetown Playhouse during the 1920s after it moved to New York City. See Robert Karoly
Saiios, Jig Cook and the Provincetown Players: Theatre in Ferment (Amherst: University of Mas
sachusetts Press, .1982); and Helen Deutsch and Stella Hanau, The Provincetown: A Story o f the
Theatre (1931; New York: Russell & Russell, 1972). Goldmans nephew (Stellas brother) Saxe
Commins had a distinguished career as an editor with Liveright and Random House. His most
important association was with playwright Eugene O Neill, much of whose-early work was first
performed by the Provincetown Players. See Dorothy Commins, What Is an Editor? Saxe Commins
at Work (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1978); and Dorothy Commins, ed., Love and
Admiration and Respect: The O Neill-Commins Correspondence (Durham, N.C.: Duke Univer
sity Press, 1986).
Max Nettlau and Rudolf Rocker, two of the most prolific writers in the anarchist movement,
became regular correspondents of Goldman during her years in exile. Nettlau devoted his life to
chronicling the movementRocker described him as the Herodotus of anarchy--amassing a huge
archive of anarchist materials. Rocker combined activismwith the Jews of Londons East End
before World War T, in Germany for the International Working Mens Association (IWMA) during
the 1920swith writing and lecturing. Nettlaus and Rockers works have been reprinted numerous
times in many languages. See especially Rudolf Rocker, Nationalism and Culture, trans. Ray E.
Chase (New York: Covici, Friede, 1937); and Anarcho-Syndicalism (London: Seeker and Warburg,
1938; rpt. ed., London: Pluto Press, 1989). Rockers three-volume autobiography appeared in Yid
dish in 1952; an English translation of the volume covering his years in England was published as
The London Years, trans. Joseph Leftwich (London: Robert Anscombe, 1956). See also Peter Wienand,
Der geborene Rebell: Rudolf RockerLeben und Werk (Berlin: Karin Kramer Verlag, 1981).
Among Netllaus numerous books were biographies of Bakunin and Errico Malatesta and a study of
the First International in Spain, but little of his work has been translated into English. An exception
is Anarchy Through the Times, trans. Scott Johnson (1935; New York: Gordon Press, 1979). Ilis
multivolume history of anarchism is currently being published for the International Institute of So
cial 1Iistory: Geschichte der Anarchie, 5 vols. (Vaduz, Liechtenstein: Topos Verlag, 1981-).
Among Goldmans closest comrades were Mollic Steimer and Senya Fieshin, who also left So
viet Russia after conditions there became intolerable for anarchists. On Steimer, see Marsh, Anar
chist Women; Avrich, Anarchist Portraits; Polenberg, Fighting Faiths', and the pamphlet, Sentenced
to Twenty Years Prison (New York: Political Prisoners Defense & Relief Committee, 1919). See
also the memorial volume edited by Abe Bluestein, Fighters fo r Anarchism: Mollie Steimer and
Senya Fieshin ([New York]: Libertarian Publications Group, 1983).

Goldmans experiences in Britain were especially disheartening. She never warmed to the Brit
ish character, and her message in the 1920s about the Bolsheviks betrayal of the Russian revolution
drew less than enthusiastic responses from her audiences. Only her lectures on drama brought her
any satisfaction. Though her attempt to build support for the Spanish anarchists during the civil war
met with more success, she never had the same sense of belonging among her British comrades that
she had felt in America. Her efforts to reach British workers were for the most part unavailing, and
she gravitated instead toward those who were more appreciative of her international reputation,
especially writers and intellectuals.
On British anarchism, see John Quail, The Slow Burning Fuse: The Lost History o f the British
Anarchists (London: Paladin, 1978); Hermia Oliver, The International Anarchist Movement in Late
Victorian London (London: Croom Helm, 1983); Rocker, London Years; and William J. Fishman,
East End Jewish Radicals, 875-1914 (London: Gerald Duckworth, 1974), published in the United
States as Jewish Radicals: From Czar is t Stef. I to London Ghetto (New York: Pantheon Books,
1975) . Albert Meltzer, The Anarchists in London, 1935-1955 (Sanday, Orkney: Cienfuegos Press,
1976) , includes some background on the efforts to raise money and public support for the anarchist
cause in Spain in the 1930s, as well as highly opinionated observations on British anarchists. Among
Goldmans closest allies in the cause of the Spanish anarchists were art and literary critic Sir Herbert
Read; novelist Ethel Mannin (see below); and Fenner Brockway, leader of the Independent Labour
Party. See Herbert Read, Anarchy and Order: Essays in Politics (London: Faber & Faber, 1954);
and Fenner Brockway, Inside the Left: Thirty Years o f Platform, Press, Prison and Parliament
(London: George Allen & Unwin, 1942).
Goldman had only intermittent contact with the celebrated American expatriates of the 1920s in
France, though for a time she numbered among her friends Peler Neagoe, Laurence Vail, Kay Boyle,
and others associated with the literary magazine, transition. Heiress and patron of the arts Peggy
Guggenheim helped Goldman purchase her cottage, Bon Esprit, i n St. Tropez and lived close by at
Pramousquier. Goldman wrote most of her memoirs at Bon Esprit, where for a year Emily Holmes
Coleman, a young American writer, served as her secretary. Demi, as Coleman was affectionately
known, and Goldman became devoted to one another. See Robert McAlmon and Kay Boyle, Being
Geniuses Together, 1920 -1930 (San Francisco: North Point Press, 1984); and Jacqueline Bograd
Weld, Peggy, the Wayward Guggenheim (New York: E. P. Dutton, 1986). On Emily Floimes Coleman,
see her novel, The Shutter o f Snow (New York: Viking, 930); and the entry in Karen Lane Rood,
ed., Dictionary o f Literary? Biography, vol. 4: American Writers in Paris, 1920 -1939 (Detroit:
Gale Research Company, 1980). Goldman also formed a strong friendship with writer and editor
Frank Harris and bis wife Nellie. See Harriss sketch of Goldman in his Contemporary Portraits,
fourth series (New York: Brentanos, 1923). The influence of Harriss notorious autobiography,'
originally published privately in five volumes, can be delected in Goldmans Living My Life. See
Frank Harris, My Life and Loves, ed. John F. Gallagher (New York: Grove Press, 1963). Although
her connections with the French anarchist movement dated from the 1890s evidenced by her corre
spondence with Augustin Hamon, editor of L Humanit NouvelleGoldman never played an active
role during her residence in France, largely one suspects for fear of expulsion. Nonetheless, she had
contacts with the anarchists, for example, May Picqueray, who for a time also lived in St. Tropez.
See May Picqueray, May le rfractaire ([Paris]: Atelier Marcel Jullian, 1979).
Among Goldmans closest friends in England were Paul and Eslanda Robeson. Later in the
1930s her implacable hostility toward the Communists created an unbridgeable gulfbetween them as
Robeson drew closer to the Party. On Robeson, see Martin Bauml Duberman, Paul Robeson (New
York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988). Visits from old friends and associates from America always fortified
Goldman, but served at the same time as a painful reminder of how much she missed her life there.
Still, she was heartened that the movement retained some vitality and was glad to encourage it from
afar through correspondence. Among her correspondents was anarchist and International Ladies
Garment Workers Union (1LGWLJ) vice-president Rose Pesotta. See Pesottas memoir Bread upon
the Waters, ed. John Nicholas Beffel (New York: Dodd, Mead, 1944), which has been reprinted with
a new introduction by Ann Schofield (Ithaca, N.Y.: 1LR Press, 1987); and Elaine Leeder, The
Gentle General: Rose Pesotta, Anarchist and Labor Organizer (Albany: State University of New
York Press, 1993).
Goldmans influence and bonds of friendship encompassed an extraordinary range of people.
She corresponded with Ba Jin (Pa Chin), a young Chinese student who was deeply influenced by
anarchism. Ba Jin (the nom de plume of Li Fei-kan) later translated Kropotkin and other Western
anarchists into Chinese. But it wras Goldman, whom he described as his spiritual mother, who had
the greatest influence on both his fiction and political ideas. He recalled in the preface to his collec
tion of short stories, The General (1934), which he dedicated to Goldman, that he first encountered
her essays in 1919 when he was just fifteen years old. Later the experience of reading her autobiog
raphy reinvigorated him, and he modeled Hui, the heroine of two of his fictional works, on Goldman.
See Olga Lang, Pa Chin and His Writings: Chinese Youth between the Wars (Cambridge, Mass.;
Harvard University Press, 1967). In Russia and Germany Goldman renewed her friendship with
American novelist and journalist Agnes Smedley, for whom Goldmans career had been a model of
courage. By the late 1920s, however, Smedley believed that the Communists offered the best hope to
oppressed peoples, especially in China, and chose to end the friendship. On the Goldman-Smedley
friendship, see Janice R. MacKinnon and Stephen R. MacKinnon, Agnes Smedley: The Life and
Times o f an American Radical (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988). Goldman admired
and was a regular correspondent of Danish novelist Karin Michalis, who explored in her fiction
many of the themes of womens sexuality that interested Goldman. Sec especially her novel, The
Dangerous Age: Letters & Fragments from a Womans Diary, trans. Marcel Prvost (London: John
Lane, 1912). Another intense friendship that rested mostly on correspondence was with American
novelist Evelyn Scott. On Scott, sec D. A. Callard, Pretty Good fo r a Woman: The Enigmas o f
Evelyn Scott (London: Jonathan Cape, 1985).

The historical literature on the Spanish civil war is enormous. The most thorough general
history of the conflict is Hugh Thomas, The Spanish Civil War, 3d ed. (New York: Harper & Row,
1977). Burnett Bollotens The Spanish Civil War: Revolution and Counterrevolution (Chapel Hill:
University of North Carolina Press, 1991) is an enormously detailed political history of Republican
Spain in the civil war period that treats the contributions of the anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists
more seriously than most standard histories. See also Ronald Frasers evocative Blood o f Spain:
An Oral History o f the Spanish Civil War (New York: Pantheon Books, 1979).

Spain was the only European country where Bakunins disciples gained a strong foothold, and
anarchism attracted followers in rural areas like Andalusia as well as cities like Barcelona and
Valencia. Two important studies of anarchism in a rural context, both of which refute an earlier
millenarian interpretation of anarchism, are Temma Kaplan, Anarchists o f Andalusia, 1868-1903
(Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1977); and Jerome Mintz, The Anarchists o f Casas Viejas
(Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1982). On the anarchists and the civil war, sec Gerald
Brenan, The Spanish Labyrinth: An Account o f the Social and Political Background o f the Civil
War, 2ded. (Cambridge: Cambridge Uni versity Press, 1950), reprinted many times; Murray Bookchin,

Goldman had close relations with many anarchist women during the Spanish civil war, espe
cially those associated with the journal Mujeres Libres, which has begun to attract the attention of
scholars. See, for example, Martha A. Ackelsberg, Free Women o f Spain: Anarchism and the
Struggle fo r the Emancipation o f Women (Bloomington; Indiana University Press, 1991); and Mary

Among the fictional representations of Goldmans life, three stand out. Ethel Mannin, the Brit
ish novelist and Independent Labour Parly member, worked closely with Goldman in London on
behalf of the CNT-FAI during the Spanish civil war. Her Red Rose: A Novel Based on the Life o f
Emma Goldman ('Red Em m a') (London; Jarrolds, [1941]) is a shrewd portrait of its subject, espe
cially the tensions between Goldman and Alexander Berkmans longtime companion, Emmy Eckstein.
Goldmans life was so full of drama that inevitably it attracted the attention of playwrights and
writers of screenplays. Two outstanding American historians have written plays based on her life.
See Howard Zions Emma (first produced in 1976), in Playbook (Boston: South End Press, 1986);
and Martin Duberman, Mother Earth: An Epic Drama o f Emma Goldman's Life (New York: St.
Martins Press, 1991), a revised version of a script commissioned two decades earlier by the New
York PBS affiliate but never produced. See also Carol Bolts Red Emma (first produced in 1974) in
Playwrights in Profile: Carol Bolt (Toronto: Playwrights Co-op, 1976). Bolts play was filmed by
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and broadcast in January 1976. Goldman was the inspira
tion also for an off-stage character in a play by Eugene O Neill, whose talent she had recognized
early in his career. See Winifred L. Frazer, E.G. and E,G.0,: Emma Goldman and "The Iceman
Cometh (Gainesville: University Presses of Florida, 1974).
D ocumentar y F ilms
Iwo documentaries by Steve Fischler and Joel Sucher are relevant and worth viewing. Free
Voice o f Labor: The Jewish Anarchists (1980) focuses on the lives and ideas of the Jewish anarchists
associated with the Yiddish-language newspaper, Freie Arbeiter Stimme (1890 -1977). Partici
pants recall labor struggles, especially in the needle trades, the repression o f radicals during the postWorld War I Red scare, and the cooperative ventures they undertook in such areas as housing and
free schools. The film includes interviews with the anarchists, rare newsreel and feature film foot
age, still photographs, Yiddish songs of struggle, and music from the Yiddish theater. Anarchism
in America (1982) weaves together archival footage including a newsreel clip of Goldman on her
return to the United States for a lecture tour in 1934and interviews with participants to tell the
history of anarchism in twentieth-century America. Among those interviewed is Mollie Stcimcr, one
of Goldmans closest friends and comrades. Both films are available on video and distributed by the
Cinema Guild, New York, N.Y. For an understanding of what was at stake for Spanish anarchist
women during the civil war, see Lisa Berger and Carol Mazers . . . de ioda la vida (. . . all our
lives) (1986). In addition to archival footage and stills, this Spanish-language film (with English
subtitles) features extended interviews with women who were rank-and-file CNT members in their
youth as well as with prominent anarchists such as Federiea Montseny and Lola Iturbe. They
spiritedly discuss their paths to anarchism, their work during the civil war, and the role of Mujeres
Fibres. The film is available on video, also distributed by Cinema Guild.

Chronology
1 8 6 9 -1 9 4 0
T he chronology was created to assist researchers using the comprehensive collection of The
Emma Goldman Papers and to supplement the introductory essays and indexes to the microfilm
edition. It serves also to fill some of the obvious gaps in the collection, to compensate for the various
government seizures of Goldmans letters and papers during her most active period of political activ
ity in the United States up to her deportationpapers that Goldman herself unsuccessfully tried to
retrieve while she was writing her autobiography. The chronological details of Goldmans public life
in Americathe magnitude of her lecture schedule, the extent of her travels, and the evolution of her
varied and far-reaching political friendships-are a critical complement to her correspondence, lec
ture manuscripts, and government surveillance documents, and together, they constitute a more accu
rate historical representation of Goldmans life work.
The research involved in locating relatively rare source material for tracking and recording a full
list of Goldmans speaking engagements (sometimes numbering over three hundred in a year), and
determining which of her scheduled lectures were barred by the police, was daunting. Tor these, and
other events in her life, the Project editors relied primarily on the sometimes flawed recollections in
Goldmans autobiography, reports from Mother Earth magazine, her chronicle of her experiences in
Russia, letters and government documents in the collection, and various secondary historical sources.
Despite the generally inconsistent reporting in the mainstream press about controversial anarchists,
newspaper accounts of Goldmans lectures were a crucial resource for the identification of dates and
places of, as well as the character of the public response to, Goldmans lectures. Though inevitably
incomplete, the chronology will facilitate effective use of this immense collection.

CHRONOLOGY
1934
March 15-20
On a whirlwind visit to her former home town,
Rochester, N.Y., on March 17, Goldman addresses
members of the City Club, one of her most successful
meetings since the opening week of the tour.
The first part of Goldmans tour of the Midwest
meets with mixed success: disappointing turnouts in
Toledo on March !9 and Cleveland on March 20,
though eight hundred attend her March 18 lecture in
Detroit.
February 13-28
Goldmans lectures on Living My Life under the
auspices of the Pond lecture bureau draw disappoint
ingly small crowds; she chafes under the Labor
Departments restrictions on the subjects she may
address, especially as questions from the audience are
almost invariably about the current world situation,
which she is forbidden to discuss; grows critical of
Ponds management of her tour.
She speaks three times in New York, and in
Boston, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
At the end of the month Goldmans attorney
appeals to the secretary of labor to lift the restriction
on her public utterances and allow' her to address
contemporary affairs.
March 21-April 2
Goldmans five lectures in Chicago, organized by her
political associates, arc the most successful of her
tour: sixteen hundred attend the lecture under the
auspices of the Free Society Forum on March 22,
twelve hundred at the University of Chicago on
March 23, and a thousand at Northwestern University
on March 26. Fifteen hundred attend a banquet in her
honor at the Medinah Hotel on March 28. The
warmth of the reception boosts her morale and
convinces her that her ideas still have an audience.
In Chicago she meets new' comrades who become
valued friends, especially Jeanne and Jay Levey, and
Frank Ileiner, a blind sociology graduate student at
the University of Chicago, who impresses Goldman
as a promising anarchist leader.
Goldman also lectures twice in Wisconsin, on
March 24 in Milwaukee, an afternoon meeting that
draws only a small audience, and at the University of
Wisconsin at Madison on March 27.
March
Generally dismal response to Goldmans lectures
outside New York continues in Newark, N.J., where
she lectures to the Essex County Socialist party on
The Menace of Reaction on M arch 1 and in
Baltimore on The Collapse of German Culture on
March 4 where she also attends the War and the
Student conference at Johns Hopkins University.
Only the meetings organized by Goldmans anarchist
associates are successful-- a luncheon and lecture
organized by the Jewish anarchists in Philadelphia on
March 2 and a lecture on The Drama of Europe at
Webster Hall, New York City, on March 5 that draws
an audience of twelve hundred. The money Goldman
raises at the latter function she pledges to the Van
guard and Freedom groups to publish a pamphlet on
the CN F in Spain.
Goldman grows increasingly frustrated wdth the
efforts of the Pond Bureau, complaining that the
theaters booked for her lectures are too large, that
ticket prices are too high, and that advertising is
jnisdireeled. By contrast, publicist Ann Lords
advance work for Goldmans lectures, directed
especially to Goldmans anarchist associates and the
Yiddish Left, improves the overall audience turnout.
Goldman pins her hopes for a successful tour on
obtaining an extension of her visa, which Roger
Baldwin pursues in Washington, D.C.
April 3-9
Goldman visits St. Louis, where the receipts for her
April 5 lecture on The Collapse of German Culture
fail to cover the rental expenses for the large hall.

Goldman in St. Louis.
April 10-20
Goldmans lectures on the last leg of her tour con
tinue to meet with mixed success despite the advance
work of Ann Lord.
In Pittsburgh on April 11 she draw's eight
hundred people; in Rochester, seven hundred, where
she lectures under the auspices of the Rochester
branch of the National Council of Jewish Women on
April 15; the turnouts in Buffalo on April 16 and
Albany on April 18, by contrast, are disappointing,
though the Yiddish meetings in those cities are
comparatively successful.
March 10
Goldmans lecture in New' Haven on Living My Life
and Todays International Problems attracts only a
small audience.

Toronto with a party attended by forty friends.
May
Fatigued from her tour of the Unites States but with

disappointment over the failure of her tour, Goldman
feels more acutely than ever the pain of her exile from
the United States,
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover writes to the
attorney general asserting that Goldman violated Lhe
agreement on which she entered the country, thus
jeopardizing her chances of return.
Following on the heels of Rudolf Rockers U.S.
and Canadian lecture tour, Goldman continues her
efforts to find an American publisher for his manu
script Nationalism and Culture; Berkman begins
translating it, after he finishes drafting ideas for the
articles that the American Mercury, Harpers, the
Nation, and Redbook have commissioned Goldman to
write.
Through correspondence with her new protg
Frank Heiner about anarchism and its prospects, their
relationship grows more intimate.

July
The American Mercury accepts Goldmans article,
Communism: Bolshevist and Anarchist, A Compari
son, which it publishesto Goldmans disgustin a
truncated form as There is No Communism in

original article. Harpers rejects her article The
Individual, Society, and the State; unwilling to revise
it, she submits instead the article about her U.S. visit
that Redbook rejected. She finishes writing The
Tragedy of the Political Exiles, which the Nation
accepts.

She is concerned about her brother Morris who

suffers repeated heart attacks.
Of five other meetings during the month, only a

free anarchist meeting on Oct. 31 fails to draw a good
crowd.
Roger Baldwin discusses Goldmans application
fora new U.S, visaand Rudolf Rockers application
for an extension of his staywith the authorities in
Washington, who advise him that at present they
would deny Goldmans request; only Rockers

after receiving further discouraging reports from
friends who have met with Labor Department
officials in Washington, D.C., about chances for

helps with the appeal from Chicago.

In Canada, Goldman is absorbed writing lectures with
the hope that a new lecture series and published
articles will provide a meager livelihood, as well as

first suggested by Frank Heiner. She suggests that the
sustaining fund Jeanne Levey is helping to raise might
be designated to support its writing.
After a disappointing turnout for her Jan. 17

CHRONOLOGY
September 15-October 29
In Spain, many leading anarchists express to Goldman
their strong opposition to the policies of the CNTs
National Committee and its conciliation of the Negrin
government. They are especially critical of Vzquez,
who now acknowledges the destructive actions of the
Communists but still wants them treated gently.
Goldman complains to him, for example, that all the
money raised in other countries for antifascist women
goes to Communist organizations and none to the
anarchist organization Mujeres Libres. The FAI by
contrast is anxious to begin a campaign abroad
exposing die activities of the Communists in Spain.
Goldman is shocked by the number of anarchists
and other leftists held in prison, among them
Jeannette Kiffel, a Polish anarchist and acquaintance
of Goldmans, who has been held incommunicado
three months but is released after Vzquez and
Goldman appeal to Segundo Blanco, CNT minister of
education in the Negrin government.

collapse in Catalonia names exhaustion among the
armies after the counterattaek by Francos forces on

Goldman quickly gained a reputation as a talented

speaker, earning praise in English-language news
papers like the Baltimore Critic, which reports her
observations about inequality in one of the earliest
accounts (Oct. 25, 1890) of a Goldman lecture.

In the early years of her career Goldman lec

1878
Goldmans growing reputation also brought her to the attention of

local authorities. This police mug shot dates from her Aug. 31,
1893, arrest on a charge of incitement to riot at a Union Square
demonstration of the unemployed in New York.
119
Goldman (ca. 1890, left) and Voltairine de Cleyre, the most prominent American-born woman anarchist (1897, right), placed
womens equality at the center of their anarchist vision of freedom. Goldmans views on free love and the sanctity oi marriage

Authorities would allow anyone to go about and make such inflammatory

&3Mf-rS
Ben Reitman, Goldmans manager and lover from 1908 to 1916, at the Mother Earth office with the magazines typist and secretary
Anna Baron (ca. 1916, below). His advance work and flair for publicity enabled Goldman to reach large audiences, causing alarm
among local officials like the New Haven chief of police (top right, 1909). Andas indicated by this letter (ca. 1914, top left) written
late at night after delivering a lectureGoldman longed for the intimacy of Reitmans presence and agonized over the distracting effect
of her passion on her political work.

Hiss Helen Keller,
IVr^nt han, liass .
ily dearest Comrade:
I am terribly ashamed of myself to have kept
you waiting so long for a reply to your wonderful
letter and the enclosed contribution, which you
so generously sent.
It is only due to the faot
that I was left with a lot of urgent work owing
to the imprisonment of my comrade, Ben. L. Eeitmann.
He has carried the brunt of the office and all of
its details for 8 years on his back.
I was almost
beside myself with a thousand and one details con
nected with our office and the general propaganda,
and as I had to prepare a number of lectures for
my tour besides, you can readily imagine how much
time there was left for anything else.
As I wrote you on a previous occasion, I could
not, if I tried, express what your coming into my
life has already meant or what it is going to mean.
I have had all sorts of people in my life; some
have remained during my entire life and others have
dropped out but somehow I was nover so deeply moved as
by your friendship and generosity. I think, perhaps,
it is becaiise I know what a terrible struggle you
must have. had.
Yes indeed, it is a breach of
J ijt 'f.riX'' on the part of those who call themselves
radicals,<not to join hands in a fight, especially
if that fight is for Free Speech and Free Press,
but then I have come across such things so often
in my 36 years of experience, that -I-am..no^longer ( / /
surprised.
Host people that call themselves'
1.0
radicals and socialists are so, only by name and not
in their innermost beings.
After all, no-one can
give more than he is capable and no one ought .to
'/'[_
expect mere.
Yes you are quite right,fonly thioso

conflict and if anyone doubted'that they had ample
opportunity to convince themselyyes from the action
of the authorities of New Yorki&ecause Rose Pastor
Stokes through her husband, is connected with the
upper strata, the authorities did not proceed against
her.
Neither did they proceed against Ida Rauh
Eastman and Jessie Ashley, although the two latter
and -with myself and others, stood up in an automo
bile in Union Square, Saturday Hay 30th and distrib
uted 30,000 Birth Control circulars.
Yr
Goldman typically addressed a broad range of subjectsas suggested by this 1915 handbill (top left)though her birth control
lectures drew the largest crowds. Goldman is pictured speaking (below) from a car in Union Square, New York, on May 20, 1916,
to protest Ben Reitmans arrest lor advocating birth control; in defiance of the law, twenty thousand birth control leaflets were
distributed to the crowd, an event Goldman recounts in her letter to Helen Keller (top right).
124
Convicted in July 1917 of conspiracy to obstruct
the draft, Goldman and Berkmanpictured here

during their trial (left)each were sentenced to two
years in prison. Goldman served her sentence in
Jefferson City, Mo., where, restricted in the num
ber and length of letters she was allowed to write,
she used every inch of space on a page. In this Feb.
27, 1918, letter (below) Goldman reports to her
niece Stella Ballantine that the prison matron, who
regularly monitored her mail, was having trouble
deciphering her handwriting.

Berkraan by his
own admission is an alien, while 3nma Goldman has claimed at

various tines to be an A n e r i can citizen through the natural
ization of her father and again through the naturalization
of her husband, but it appears that the immigration authoritios who personally examined her claim reached the conclusion
that she was not a citizen of the United States.
Upon com-
cunicating with the Department of Labor this morning, I was
informally advised that 2mma Goldmans case had on several
occasions teen before the Department of Labor for consideration l

but that the Assistant Secretary, Hr. Post, had refused to
sustain the recommendation of the immigration inspector, stat-
ing that there was not sufficient facts to warrant the issuance
of the warrant for deportation.
I have requested ilr. McClelland
As a special assistant to the attorney general assigned to the Bureau of Investigation in 1919, J. Edgar Hooverlater FBI director for
almost a half-centurytook a personal interest in the supervision of the deportation cases against Goldman and Berkman.
Accompanied by her attorney Harry Weinberger, Goldman surrenders to federal officials at Ellis Island prior to
her deportation from the United States on Dec. 21, 1919.

with old friends and wrote her autobiography. With Goldman at

Weinberger and friend (top left); Fitzi (M. Eleanor Fitzgerald) and
Pauline Trkei (top right, right to left) en route to Europe in 1923;

After the outbreak of the Spanish civil war in July 1936, Goldman worked
indefatigably on behalf of the Spanish anarchists, who played a signifi
cant role on the Republican side, serving in London as the English-lan
guage propagandist for the CNT-FA1, and after the collapse of the Re
public, aiding the refugees from Francos regime. Goldman visited Spain
three times during the war. She is pictured below in September 1938
with Alfonso Miguel; Lola Iturbe, feminist and CNT militant; Jos Carb;
Martin Gudell, who worked closely with Goldman through the CNTFAIs Office of Foreign Propaganda; Pedro Herrera, general secretary of
the FAI and one of Goldmans closest Spanish comrades; Juan Molina,
formerly editor of Tierra y Libertad', and Gregorio Jover, commander of
the 28th Division and a close associate of the late anarchist leader
Buenaventura Durruti.

In February 1940 Goldman suffered a severe stroke and died on

May 14. The U.S. government relented in its opposition to
Goldmans entry; her body was returned to Chicago where she
was buried near the Haymarket anarchists. The gravestone (left),
with a bas-reliet by sculptor Jo Davidson, erected some years later,
misidentified her June 27 birth date and her 1940 death date. A
final tribute to Goldman was held at Town Hall in New York City.
