Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the life and achievements of Emma Goldman, one of the most rebellious individuals of the 1900s who strongly advocated for a number of causes including equality and independence for women, freedom of thought and expression, radical education, sexual freedom and birth control, and union organization and the eight-hour day. The paper comments that many of the things that Godlman fought for (or against) 100 years ago, are just as relevant today as they were then. The paper continues by exploring her fight for women's rights.

From the Paper:

"Shortly thereafter, she was arrested and charged with conspiring against the draft. During the trial, she argued that her actions were not un-American but patriotic, for they supported the ideas of the American democracy. She had exercised her right to free speech and alerting others about what was being done by the government. Ultimately, she Goldman was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison .After an unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court, Goldman entered the Missouri State Penitentiary in and was deported to Russia after the war."
