A MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN
by Pamela Simones
Emma Goldman was considered to be the most dangerous woman in America both be cause of her anarchist views and because of her renowned speaking abilities. In 1901, when President McKinley was shot, the authorities blamed Emma Goldman for the actions of the young man who had mortally wounded the President. Emma was cleared of the charges, but her name was more than ever synonymous with anything anti-establishment. She ultimately was stripped of her citizenship and deported from the United States, but she continued to work for the oppressed until she died of a stroke at the age of 70.
