Red Emma Goldman. By the time she was deported to Russia along with 248 others in the shameful Red Scare of 1919, Emma Goldman's name was a household word. In the first decades of this century, the notorious revolutionary was known as the Queen of the Anarchists and the Most Dangerous Woman in the World...She was arrested so often that she never spoke in public without taking along a book to read in jail. -- from the introduction by Alix Kates Shulman
