1869 - 1940
Emma Goldman was a prominent political activist, anarchist, and writer born on June 27, 1869, in Lithuania. She is best known for her advocacy of anarchism, free speech, and women's rights, and she played a significant role in the labor movement and anti-war activism in the early 20th century. Goldman's outspoken views and public speaking made her a controversial figure, leading to her deportation from the United States in 1919.
