  • Anarcha-Feminism
    Anarcha-Feminism Ruby Flick For too long anarchist feminists have been labeled as the ladies auxiliary of male bomb throw- ers. The misconception and manipulation of both feminists and anarchist principles and practice have resulted in the use of sensationalist and ridiculing tactics by the state and its spokespeople. This has not only polarized the general populace from potentially liberation concepts buthasalso polarized anarchist from feminists. In the past and more so recently there has been a uniting of these beliefs and Peggy Korneggers article; ‘Anarchism; the Feminist Connection’ goes so far as to say that the two genres of thought are inextricable tied although the connection has not been consciously articulated by feminists very often. Kornegger argues that feminism “emphasis on the small group as a basic organizational unit, on the personal and political, on anti- authori- tarianism and on spontaneous direct action was essentially anarchism. I believe that this puts women in a unique position of being the bearers of a subsurface anarchist consciousness which if articulated and concretized can take us further than any previous group toward the achievement of total revolution. While anarchism has provided a framework for the transformation required, for far too long even this revolutionary ideology has been largely male identified; male articulated, male targeted and male exclusive in both its language and participation. It has therefore been unfortunately lacking in vital analysis especially with regard to the psychological and physical realities of op- pression experienced by the majority of the human population: women. As Emma Goldman said of the Spanish Revolution of 1936 “Despite the impressive rhetoric, most frequently male anar- chists retreated to cultural orthodoxy in the personal relationships with women …The vast major- ity of Spanish comrades continued to expect their own “companions” to provide the emotionally supportive and submissive relationships “necessary” for the activism of the males”.

  • Good Night and Good-Bye: Temporal and Spatial Rhythms in Piecing Together Emma Goldman’S Auto/Biographical Fragments
    Good night and good-bye: temporal and spatial rhythms in piecing together Emma Goldman’s auto/biographical fragments Maria Tamboukou, Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London, UK Abstract: Fragments of autobiography are everywhere, particularly when you work in archives with letters, diaries and journals. There is always something missing, either because not everything found a place in an archive, because of serendipity, because of intentional selections and deselections as well as because of specific rules of taxonomy and classification that allow certain documents of life to be preserved and others to become obscure and marginalized. Discontinuous and interrupted as they are, auto/biographical fragments create their own rhythms of archival existence and it is on specific spatial and temporal rhythms that this paper focuses, particularly looking into actual and virtual space/time blocks within which auto/biographical fragments emerge and unfold, thus offering analytical trails for the researcher to follow. In doing this I will draw on archival resaerch with Emma Goldman’s papers at the University of California Berkeley. Key words: archives, fragments, Goldman, letters, space/time rhythms In her recent book on The Fantasy of Feminist History, Joan Scott has configured two fantasy figures in the making of the history of feminism: ‘the female orator and the feminist maternal’ (Scott, 2012: 54). The revolutionary woman, ‘standing at the podium, giving a speech’, while later mounting on the scaffold or being deported from her country has set in motion processes of phantasmatic identifications, operating ‘as a fantasy echo, replaying in time and over generations the process that forms individuals as social and political actors’ Scott, has suggested.

  • 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?

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • Anarchist Women and the “Sex Question”
    1 Anarchist Women and the “Sex Question” The question of souls is old—we demand our bodies, now. We are tired of promises, God is deaf, and his church is our worst enemy. —Voltairine de Cleyre, “Sex Slavery,” 1890 I demand the independence of woman; her right to support herself; to live for herself; to love whomever she pleases, or as many as she pleases. I demand freedom for both sexes, freedom of action, freedom in love and freedom in motherhood. —Emma Goldman, “Marriage,” 1897 he Sex Question,” also known as “The Woman Question,” “Timplies a sense of epistemic uncertainty about the nature of womanhood, or the “proper” place of women in society. Introduced in Europe and debated throughout late nineteenth- and early twentieth- century America, the question was part of an international dialogue in response to the social unrest that was evident among a growing num- ber of women who began to challenge the notion that their sphere of influence was “naturally” limited to the roles of sweetheart, wife, and mother. Far from being singular in focus, the sex question pointed to an array of questions about whether (or to what extent) the bodies women occupy should delineate their rights and participation in public life, including questions about voting rights, access to higher education and professional employment, and the freedom to make choices about interpersonal relationships, marriage, and childbirth independently of the influence of men. Embedded within a dialectical discourse of 1 © 2016 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 TONGUE OF FIRE femininity and masculinity, these debates, in turn, reinforced the nature of manhood and masculine roles.
