Anarchy By: Errico Malatesta Publishers Summary Among the men and women prominent in the public life of early 20th-century America there are but few whose names are mentioned as often as that of Emma Goldman. Sadly, none of these themes seem obsolete even to a modern reader every one of them has direct application to twenty-first century society.

Included among these themes are: a definition of decentralized anarchism itself the ambiguous morality of direct action the curse of modern patriotism the horrors of early twentieth-century prisons the need for an entirely new kind of education the relationship of legal marriage to true love the insidious danger of Puritanical thought within feminism itself the deadly spread of sex trafficking the limitations or even undesirability of woman suffrage and the extraordinary revolutionary potential of modern theatre. Anarchism and Other Essays is a 1910 essay collection by Emma Goldman, first published by Mother Earth Publishing.The essays outline Goldmans anarchist. Drawing from a wealth of illustrative material, including the examples of fellow anarchists and radicals of her own acquaintance, modern martyrs, dissident playwrights, poets, and authors, etc., she delineates the main themes of her philosophy with incisiveness and evangelical passion. Emma Goldman makes compelling arguments against the state machinery and posits that social harmony cannot exist in a society driven by a profit seeking heirarchical structure that leaves no place for solidarity of interests.
