What Is There in Anarchy for Woman?
By Emma Goldman "WHAT does anarchy hold out to me--a woman?"
More to woman than to anyone else--everything which she has not--freedom and equality."
Quickly, earnestly Emma Goldman, the priestess of anarchy, exiled from Russia, feared by police, and now a guest of St. Louis Anarchists, gave this answer to my question.
I found her at No. 1722 Oregon avenue, an old-style two-story brick house, the home of a sympathizer--not a relative as has been stated.
