Freedom is the watchword of America. But many of her own citizens have had to struggle to get it, often at great personal cost. Emma Goldman rose up and resisted the notion that patriotism meant women, immigrants, and the poor staying quiet about their places in American life. Listen how in the early twentieth century, one woman galvanized the underclass while striking fear in the hearts of law enforcement and the federal government. Narrated by Jeff Grossman, and starring Sarah Natochenny (Ash Ketchum, Pokémon), Spencer Fox (Dash Parr, The Incredibles), Roy North, and Nathan Repasz.
