description: Emma Goldman has often been read for her colorful life story her lively if troubled sex life and her wide-ranging political activism. Few have taken her seriously as a political thinker even though in her lifetime she was a vigorous public intellectual within a global network of progressive politics. Engaging Goldman as a political thinker allows us to rethink the common dualism between theory and practice scrutinize stereotypes of anarchism by placing Goldman within a fuller historical context recognize the remarkable contributions of anarchism in creating public life and open up contemporary politics to the possibilities of transformative feminism.
