Great Anarchists - Louise Michel
Channel: Great Anarchists
Date: 2020-01-10

By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper.
Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey.

Educator, poet, dramatist, novelist, movement historian, orator and agitator Louise Michel rose to prominence during the Paris Commune (1870-71) and  was one of some 4,500 Communards deported to New Caledonia in 1872. Michel acquired a commanding public profile in the last decades of the nineteenth century - her mere presence at a meeting was enough to guarantee a large and enthusiastic audience and a 50,000 crowd turned out  for her funeral in 1905.
