First sentence: Propagandism is not, as some suppose, a "trade," because nobody will follow a "trade" at which you may work with the industry of a slave and die with the reputation of a mendicant. The motives of any persons to pursue such a profession must be different from those of trade, deeper than pride, and stronger than interest.

Description: "Anarchism and Other Essays" by Emma Goldman is a collection of essays written during the late 19th century that explores anarchist philosophy and its implications for society. The work is marked by Goldman's passionate advocacy for social justice and individual freedom, addressing a range of topics including government, property, and the struggles of women, the working class, and various social movements. At the start of the collection, Goldman addresses the misconceptions and oppositions surrounding anarchism, arguing for its validity as a philosophy rooted in the liberation of the human spirit. The opening emphasizes her personal experiences with oppression in her formative years, highlighting her journey from a Jewish girl in Russia to a passionate advocate in America. Goldman reveals the injustices faced by the marginalized, setting the stage for a broader critique of systemic issues such as economic exploitation and government control that permeate society. Her reflections serve as a foundation for the revolutionary ideas she seeks to promote throughout the essays, solidifying her position as a significant figure in the anarchist movement.
