Rare pamphlet written on Ellis Island as Goldman and Berkman were being deported for "subversion." "For nearly 30 years, Emma Goldman had taunted conservative Americans with her outspoken attacks on government, big business and war. Her name became a household word, synonymous with everything subversive and demonic, but also symbolic of the 'new woman' and of the radical labor movement that blossomed in the years before WWI. To the public she was America's arch revolutionary, both frightening and fascinating. She flaunted her lovers, talked back to the police, smoked in public and marched off to prison carrying James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist under her arm" (Wexler, Emma Goldman in Exile). Mild general wear to wraps. Toning to outer and upper edge of front wrapper. Generous underlining in red ink throughout text. Complete and sound, still. About very good. Book#v2251. $1900.
