What’s more, it is still a heady brew.” —Kirkpatrick Sale, author of The Dwellers in the Land “Glassgold opens with an excellent brief history of the publication. -

Emma Goldman's "A Woman Without a Country," though a great text, mentioned nothing of feminism, let alone anarchist feminism. View all 9 comments. Quiet Rumors provides anarcha-feminists and other readers with a solid archive of political inquiry stretching across two centuries and engaging the debates, disappointments, and dreams expressed within critical moments in multiple liberation movements. Nor is a fringe mention of intersectionality enough to make our feminism intersectional. Why were they picked for this anthology?

Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world—prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal. —Emma Goldman, Living My Life Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal? —Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass In June of 1919, the Walt Whitman Fellowship International held a celebra- tion commemorating the centennial of the birth of America’s “good grey poet” weeks before his motherland signed the treaty that would end the first “great war” to connect the modern world. Yet with legislative peace on the global horizon, turmoil erupted at a local Whitman procession. The New York Times reported on the antiwar demonstrations led by “a series of radical speeches based upon [Whitman’s] writings” (“Viereck Breaks Up” 17). George Smith, a local school examiner and the evening’s host, came under fire from the board of education for virtually sanctioning the pro- tests by reading aloud a telegram sent by Emma Goldman from a federal prison in Jefferson City, Missouri (“Must Explain” 2). -

MONDAY Praxis Poems: JUL 01 Radical Genealogies of Yiddish Poetry ANNA ELENA TORRES | Delivered in English This talk will survey the radical traditions of Yiddish poetry, focusing on anarchist poetics and the press. Beginning with the Labor poets, also known as the Svetshop or Proletarian poets, the lecture discusses the formative role of the anarchist press in the development of immigrant social worlds. Between 1890 and World War I, Yiddish anarchists published more than twenty newspapers in the U.S.; these papers generally grew out of mutual aid societies that aspired to cultivate new forms of social life. Fraye Arbeter Shtime (Free Voice of Labor)—which was founded in 1890 and ran until 1977, making it the longest-running anarchist newspaper in any language—launched the careers of many prominent poets, including Dovid Edelshtat, Mani Leyb, Anna Margolin, Fradl Shtok, and Yankev Glatshteyn. Yiddish editors fought major anti-censorship Supreme Court cases during this period, playing a key role in the transnational struggle for a free press. The talk concludes by tracing how the earlier Proletarian poets deeply informed the work of later, experimental Modernist writers. Anna Elena Torres is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago. Her forthcoming book is titled Any Minute Now The World Streams Over Its Border!: Anarchism and Yiddish Literature (Yale University Press). This project examines the literary production, language politics, and religious thought of Jewish anarchist movements from 1870 to the present in Moscow, Tel Aviv, London, Buenos Aires, New York City, and elsewhere. Torres’ work has appeared in Jewish Quarterly Review, In geveb, Nashim, make/shift, and the anthology Feminisms in Motion: A Decade of Intersectional Feminist Media (AK Press, 2018). -
Who Was Emma Goldman and Why Is She Important?
Comments: This paper provides an overview of Emma Goldman’s definitions of anarchy, along with an explanation of her dedication to campaigns for women’s rights and birth control. The choice of primary sources is strong. The use of specific quotations from the primary sources is done well. The overall structure of the paper lacks an argument that this then supported. The paper is also missing a conclusion. The paper also needs more historical context so that the reader can understand which periods are represented by Goldman’s life and work. Placing the primary sources into a larger historical context would also help the reader understand whether Goldman’s ideas were representative of her peer group or exceptional. More analysis of the primary sources through the Primary Source Worksheet might have helped with this end. Who was Emma Goldman and why is she important?
