February - Anarchist

Found a reference to Emma Goldman in a book review in the NY Times...

The book, by Joyce Appleby, called 'The Relentless Revolution: A History of Capitalism' (ISBN 978 0 393 31286 7, Pub: 2010, John Wiley & Sons., New York) and is due out this month. I hope to get a copy, although the limp bound version may be worth waiting for if only to keep costs down.

Emma Goldman, anarchist, managed to upset virtually everyone especially the Soviet loving British Communist's. Goldman is tainted if only because she fell in behind Margret Sanger who, like our very own Marie Stopes, was not only an advocate of Birth Control (as a means of combating poverty amongst the lower orders) but of eugenics.
