Description
Feminism and Anarchism Vol. I and II combined
Book Summary
This special edition brings together two volumes of the thought of Emma Goldman, one of the most radical and lucid voices of anarchism and feminism. The work explores the intersection between women's liberation and the critique of all forms of authority, offering a perspective that remains deeply relevant. The reader will find an incisive analysis of female autonomy, free love, and the need for a revolution that transforms daily life, beyond political or economic concessions.
What is it about?
Emma Goldman was a pioneer in the fight for free sexuality, contraception, and women's autonomy to decide over their own bodies. In this work, the author maintains that there is not just one feminism, but many, and that not all have the courage to challenge the structures of domination that inhabit even the hearts of women themselves. Convinced that female independence is not achieved through economic improvements or concessions from above, Goldman proposes inner regeneration and the need to live the revolution in intimate relationships and in daily life. This point of view became decisive for the feminist movement of subsequent decades.

Editorial review
This edition, which brings together the two volumes of Emma Goldman, is of great interest to those who wish to delve into an anarcha-feminism that does not shy away from contradictions or the demands of structural change. The clarity and forcefulness of her thought, combined with the timeliness of many of her approaches, make this work a valuable tool for both academic study and personal and activist reflection.
