Emma Goldman(June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-born anarchist revolutionary,political activist, and writer. She played a pivotal role in the developmentof anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the firsthalf of the 20th century.

Attracted to anarchism after the Chicago Haymarketaffair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchistphilosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds ofthousands. She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover andlifelong friend, planned to assassinate industrialist and financier HenryClay Frick as an act of propaganda of the deed. Frick survived theattempt on his life in 1892, and Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Goldmanwas imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for "incitingto riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control.In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth.

In 1917, Goldman andBerkman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to "inducepersons not to register" for the newly instated draft. After theirrelease from prison, they were arrested—along with 248 others—in the so-called PalmerRaids during the First Red Scare and deported to Russia in December 1919.

Initially supportive of that country's October Revolution that brought theBolsheviks to power, Goldman changed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadtrebellion; she denounced the Soviet Union for its violent repression ofindependent voices. She left the Soviet Union and in 1923. After the outbreakof the Spanish Civil War, Goldman traveled to Spain to support theanarchist revolution there. She died in Toronto, Canada, in 1940, aged 70.
