Emma Goldman: Rebel, Radical, Revolutionary.She wasn’t just a woman ahead of her time—she was a woman outside of it. In this episode, we dive deep into the life and legacy of Emma Goldman: anarchist, feminist, free speech fighter, and one of the most dangerous women in America (according to J. Edgar Hoover, anyway).
🔹 Topics covered:
✔️ How Goldman challenged capitalism, war, and patriarchy
✔️ Her fight for free speech, birth control, and queer liberation
✔️ Why she rejected both the state and traditional feminism
✔️ What Goldman’s legacy means in today’s world
From the Haymarket Affair to the Spanish Civil War, Emma Goldman never backed down. She lived her politics, loved defiantly, and left behind a blueprint for resistance that still hits hard today.What does “freedom” mean to you? Drop me a comment.

Context + Comrades|| Howard Zinn – A People’s History of the United States (for framing Goldman in U.S. resistance)|| Voltairine de Cleyre – Selected Works (another radical woman anarchist who deserves more airtime)
