Emma Goldman Online From the 1890s until she was deported with other foreign-born radicals in 1919, Emma Goldman brought verve and passion to her advocacy for anarchism and workers' rights. Even in exile, she continued to be politically active and controversial. For instance, she alienated many of her left-wing friends by denouncing Soviet Russia as an authoritarian state, once she'd seen it firsthand. Goldman spent her final years campaigning for the Loyalist side during the Spanish Civil War. Join Sandra Opdycke as she discusses Goldman's life. Sandra Opdycke, Ph.D. is an historian. She has written books about the flu epidemic of 1918, the woman suffrage movement, the WPA of the 1930s, and Bellevue Hospital, as well as a biography of Jane Addams, an historical atlas of American women’s history, and several co-authored books and articles on social policy. She worked for a number of years at Hudson River Psychiatric Center and later taught American History and Urban History at Bard, Vassar, and Marist Colleges. She serves as an occasional lecturer at the Center for Lifetime Studies in Poughkeepsie. Register here.
