With his with and unique ability to illuminate history from below, Howard Zinn dramatizes the life of a remarkable woman. Emma Goldman, the anarchist, feminist and free spirit, was exiled from the United States because of her outspoken views. She seemed tireless as she travelled, discussing birth control ('A woman should decide for herself'), the falsity of marriage as an institution ('Nothing to do with love'), patriotism ('the last refuge of a scoundrel') and more. This book will be of interest to feminists, historians and revolutionaries alike.

Howard Zinn: Howard Zinn (1922-2010) was a historian, playwright, and activist. He wrote the classic A People's History of the United States, a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.""

Reviews for Emma

"""Howard Zinn's play about Emma Goldman, is a small miracle. Here is a drama that holds down the heroics, polemics and didacticism to which works about heroes and heroines are prone. True, Emma is idealized; she is loving, honest, selfless, daring, but she is also human and believable.""—Walter Goodman, New York Times ""Howard Zinn's play about Emma Goldman, is a small miracle.
