Jacket front photo: Emma Goldman at the age of seventeen. keywords: Biography Politics Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In 1927, Emma Goldman-free love advocate, birth control pioneer, and anarchist-began her autobiography, she kept hidden a part of her life that she feared would destroy her as a public figure. What she would not reveal was the true story of her passionate, anguished romance with Dr. Ben Reitman, a flamboyant Chicago gynecologist known for his work among hobos and the destitute. For ten tempestuous years (from 1908 to 1917) Reitman had been lover, public relations man, and political soulmate to Goldman. During their frequent absences from each other, Emma had written hundreds of letters to Reitman in which she held back none of her feelings-political, emotional, sexual-and he responded in kind. Goldman knew that ‘if ever our correspondence should be published, the world would stand aghast that I, Emma Goldman, the strong revolutionist, the daredevil, the one who has defied laws and convention, should have been as helpless as a shipwrecked crew on a foaming ocean. ' In 1975, Candace Falk, then a doctoral student in history, unearthed a cache of Goldman's love letters to Reitman, which had remained secreted since Reitman's death. Drawing on these and thousands of other letters and documents unavailable to previous biographers, she has written a major biography that traces Goldman's entire life and political career from her childhood in Russia to her death in exile in Canada. Having escaped to America from a tyrannical family at age sixteen, she entered into a miserable early marriage, from which she fled to the community of anarchists in New York City. There she met, among other charismatic figures, Alexander Berkman, her ‘chum of a lifetime, ' with whom she plotted the assassination of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick. Berkman spent fourteen years in prison for his bungled attempt, while Emma launched her political career as lecturer and organizer, which was eventually to result in her expulsion from the United States in 1919. Choosing the Soviet Union as a haven, she quickly became disillusioned with the repressive aftermath of the Russian Revolution and left to live in exile in Europe and finally in Canada. During these dramatic years, her turbulent affairs with a man more than twenty years her junior, two married men, and several other lovers, including one woman, tested her oft-proclaimed belief in sexual freedom, while affirming her commitment to passion in all spheres of life. Fascinating and intensely readable, this first full-scale biography of Emma Goldman to appear in twenty-three years makes clear the connection between Goldman's public life and political beliefs and her private life and loves, revealing how the elusive goals of love and anarchism were inextricably linked throughout her life. inventory #22514.
