A Fragment of the Prison Experiences delivers an unflinching account of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman's imprisonment in Jefferson City State Prison and Atlanta Federal Penitentiary between 1918 and 1919. This collaborative memoir exposes the brutality of early 20th-century penal systems through the eyes of two iconic anarchists. Goldman's vivid recollections detail dehumanizing conditions, forced labor, and systemic oppression faced by political dissidents, while Berkman's essays dismantle pseudoscientific theories of criminality, arguing that crime stems from poverty and social inequities. The work includes firsthand documentation of their clashes with prison authorities, such as Berkman's public rebuttal to Warden Fred Zerbst, and critiques the Lombrosian myth of the «born criminal.» Interwoven with philosophical reflections on justice, this narrative serves as both a personal testimony and a radical call for prison reform. Its blend of memoir and polemic makes it indispensable for readers exploring political biographies, histories of social activism, and critiques of carceral institutions.

»Maron lächelt mich durch den Rauschebart flüchtig an und obwohl sein Gesicht halb verdeckt ist, habe ich es ganz vor Augen. Das hat man davon, wenn man einen Kerl jahrelang heimlich anschmachtet. Ich hoffe, der Bart ist genauso kratzig, wie er aussieht. Dann wird es wenigstens nicht nur für mich eine lange Woche.«Für Alexis ist es schlimm genug, dass sie vor Weihnachten in einem lächerlichen Elfenkostüm in der Mall arbeiten muss. Zu allem Überfluss stellt sie auch noch fest, dass ihr Santa niemand geringeres als Maron Fletcher ist, ihr langjähriger Highschool-Crush. Dieser ist über das unverhoffte Wiedersehen weitaus erfreuter als Alexis, denn an den betrunkenen One-Night-Stand, den sie ein Jahr zuvor hatten, kann er sich scheinbar nicht mehr erinnern. Ein Grund mehr für Alexis, ihn auf Abstand zu halten. Doch das ist schwieriger, als erwartet ...

Radical thinker and writer Emma Goldman presents her life story and memories in Living My Life, first published in 1931. Originally two volumes, it is published here as a combined edition. From her arrival in New York as a 20-year-old seamstress, when she immediately launched into a life of activism and public agitation, she recalls her childhood in Lithuania, her immigration to the U.S. as a teenager, and her wild adventures as an independent and intelligent woman. An important and influential figure in such far-flung geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War, Goldman is one of the most storied people of the 20th century. And her story, in her own inimitable words, is one of the great biographies, and one of the great personal histories of a turbulent era. Anarchist and feminist EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) is one of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Lithuania, she emigrated to the United States as a teenager, was deported in 1919 for her criticism of the U.S. military draft in World War I, and died in Toronto after a globetrotting life. An early advocate of birth control, women's rights, and workers' unions, she was an important and influential figure in such far-flung geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. Among her many books are My Disillusionment in Russia (1925) and Living My Life (1931).

Emma Goldman, 'die rote Emma', war zu ihren Lebzeiten eine gleichermaßen verehrte wie gefürchtete Symbolfigur des Anarchismus. Sie wurde bekannt durch ihre Schriften, ihre Reden und ihre engagierten Kampagnen für die Rechte der Arbeiter, für Geburtenkontrolle, gegen die Wehrpflicht und für die Friedensbewegung. 1886 war sie im Alter von siebzehn Jahren aus Russland in die USA emigriert. Durch die Hinrichtung der Aufständischen vom Chicagoer Haymarket und die Begegnung mit Johann Most politisiert, erkannte sie bald ihr großes rhetorisches Talent und setzte es bei Vorträgen und Agitationsveranstaltungen ein, wo sie für verschiedenste Belange der Arbeiter und der Unterdrückten kämpfte. Sie wurde mehrere Male zu Gefängnisstrafen verurteilt und 1917, im Zuge der Anarchistenhetze und der Kriegsbegeisterung in der Gesellschaft, nach Russland deportiert, wo sie Zeugin der Auswirkungen der Russischen Revolution wurde. Enttäuscht von der diktatorischen Herrschaft der Bolschewiki, verbrachte sie einige Jahre in Frankreich, wo sie in den zwanziger Jahren ihre Autobiografie verfasste. 1936 nahm sie am Spanischen Bürgerkrieg teil. 1940 starb sie in Toronto. 2010 jährt sich Emma Goldmans Todestag zum 70. Mal.

Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous—and notorious—woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin’s Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, Living My Life is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence.First time in Penguin ClassicsCondensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era 

Twelve essays by the influential radical include "Marriage and Love," "The Hypocrisy of Puritanism," "The Traffic in Women," Anarchism," and "The Psychology of Political Violence."

Aujourd’hui comme hier, le sort réservé aux femmes dans la société et en particulier dans le monde du travail nécessite une double analyse, de genre et de classe. Si trop souvent les féministes ont failli à cet impératif, beaucoup de révolutionnaires, socialistes ou anarchistes, l’ont aussi négligé, voire dénigré. Pourtant, la lutte des sexes demeure un facteur invariable de la lutte des classes, et inversement. -- Béatrice Vincent

A teenager when she and her family emigrated to the United States, Emma Goldman (1869–1940) was so greatly affected by Chicago's Haymarket Square tragedy in 1886 that she became a revolutionary and campaigned for such then-controversial transformations in society as higher wages, the eight-hour workday, birth control, and abolition of the draft. Because of these activities, she was deported to Russia in 1919, where she was able to witness the Revolution's aftermath firsthand. Horrified by what she saw in major cities and revolted by the Bolshevik dictatorship, she left the country in 1921 and, soon after, set down her thoughts in two books — My Disillusionment in Russia and My Further Disillusionment in Russia. She wrote passionately about political harassment and forced labor inflicted upon the masses, rampant opportunism raging throughout the Soviet government, industrial militarization, persecution of anarchists, and the government's increased use of deportation as a political weapon. Her writings helped turn a large number of socialists against the Bolshevik government. Her two books have been combined in this Dover edition — a volume that will be of value to teachers, students, and anyone interested in the socio-economic problems of the early 20th century.
