Called 'a brief comet in the anarchist firmament, blazing out quickly and soon forgotten by all but a small circle of comrades whose love and devotion persisted long after her death,' by Paul Avrich, Voltairine de Cleyre was a little-known, but crucial link in the early American anarchist milieu of the 20th century. Her gifts as a writer outshone her contemporaries and read like a breath of fresh air even today. This facsimile reprint collection of poems, essays and stories was originally published in 1914 by Emma Goldman's Mother Earth Publishing Association.

Voltairine de Cleyre, celebrated by Emma Goldman as a brilliant anarchist, challenges the mainstream women's movement of her time with radical ideas on feminism and anarchism. This collection features twenty-one of her essays, including influential works like "Anarchism and the American Tradition" and "Sex Slavery," alongside biographical pieces by Sharon Presley, Crispin Sartwell, and Goldman. De Cleyre's calls for economic independence, autonomy, and a critique of institutional oppression resonate powerfully in contemporary discussions of individual rights and anti-globalization movements.
