<DIV><p>Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous—and notorious—woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan's Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin's Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, <B>Living My Life</B> is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence.</p> <ul> <li> <div>First time in Penguin Classics</div> </li> <li> <div>Condensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era</div> </li> </ul> <p> </p> </div>
