About the author

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) stands as a major figure in the history of American radicalism and feminism. An influential and well-known anarchist of her time, Goldman was an early advocate of free speech, birth control, women's rights, and union organization. To this day she remains one of the most recognizable figures in anarchist history. David Porter studied political science, sociology and economics at Columbia University where he received his Ph.D. He's taught at colleges in Brooklyn, Montreal, and Maryland and for two decades at Empire State College. Over four decades, he has investigated and written on a variety of grassroots contexts of community participatory empowerment, historically and in the present, in the U.S. and abroad.
