Patriotism in Action Subject: Free Speech Cover of Emma Goldman's Magazine "Mother Earth," June 1912

This cartoon from Goldman's magazine Mother Earth illustrates Goldman's view of the hypocrisy of those who used patriotism as an excuse to stifle the free expression of those who disagreed with them.
