Activist and anarchist philosopher Emma Goldman fought for human liberation in every realm of life. While she opposed the women’s suffrage movement, she was a staunch advocate for women’s rights.

Josh and Ray explore her life and thought with Candace Falk, editor of Emma Goldman: A Documentary History of the American Years.
