{"product_id":"living-my-life-9780142437858","title":"Living My Life","description":"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, \u003cb\u003eLiving My Life\u003c\/b\u003e is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst time in Penguin Classics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma Goldman (1869-1940) came to America from Russia when she was sixteen.
