THE WOMAN ANARCHIST.
Career of Emma Goldman, Who
breaches Pistols and Dynamite.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Emma GOldman's career in this coun-
try dates back eight years. She is about
% years old, and her father is a poor
tailor at Mona, Russia. she received
little or no education, and in her youth
heard nothing of anarchism or its kin
bred theories. Shortly after coming to
this country she married a man named
Gruenbaum, with whom she lived for a
year and half at Rochester, N. Y.
While in Rochester she met Louis
Bernstein, one of the most radical and
best-read anarchists of New York She
followed Bernstein to New York, and
such an influence had his teachings upon
her mind that she insisted on joining the
Jewish Pioneers of Liberty, prominent
group of anarchists. She soon became
violent in her doctrines. She dropped
her husbands name and called herself
Goldman, her maiden name She was
the only woman member of the Pioneers
and startled even Most's followers by the
violence of her doctrines. She got the
floor on every occasion and preached the
extreme form of anarchy.
The Pioneers expelled her after three
weeks membership, because, in the
opinion of the group, she harmed the
cause much more than she helped it, 1t
~
that Emma met Alexander Bergman.
She was then rather pretty. Bergman
succeeded Bernstein as her anarchist
teacher and fell in love with her
ANARCHY TOO SLOW FOR HER.
She next got under the wing of Herr
Most by joining the International rbeiter
Association, the German group of an
archists Most and Emma became fast
friends and articles signed by her began
to appear in MOstS weekly. Die Freiheit.
1t was generally understood among an
archists that Emma did not write the
articles, because she couldn't and that
Most allowed the use of her name because
it BATTERED her. She had personal quar-
rel with Most, and on Dec. 18 of last year.
as he was about to speak at Odd Fellow S
hall, she ran on the platform and struck

Bergmann's shooting of F'rick split the
anarchists in New York and Emma
Goldman. who was disliked by the con
servatlves, joined the autOnomists, who
style Most and his fellows "milk and
water" anarchists. Bergman belonged
to the anti Most wing, and he and Emma
became inseparable
Emma and her friends were not daunted
by the news that they might be arrested
for being implicated in the shooting of
Prick She was arrested in Baltimore
Wllle on q speaking tour IN Deld1 OF
Bergman, Her trip to Pittsburg TO see
him last Thanksgiving day gave her con
siderable notriety though she paid the
penalty when she returned TO New York,
as for months she wanted for the neces-
stiles Of life. Though half starved at
times she continued to make speeches.
She speaks English, German and Russian,
but not correctly. She is, at all times,
nsational, and is always forcing herself
forward.
AS an autQnomist Emma Goldman is
opposed to every form of government
Autonomists are theists and do not be-
lieve in marriage. The socialists and the
anarchists Of the Most group call Emma
Goldman an ignoramUs. They do not
credit her with any sincerity, and say
she has an unquenchable desire for
nOtOriety.
