Would recommend this for those who know and love Emma Goldman, or those who don't have a clue who she is. Straightforward and accessible read - perfect but shouldn't be limited to the intended reader audience of 14-18 years of age, but even those in late teens/early 20s, as well as various adult ages! This book offers a clear and concise reflection on Emma Goldman's life, allowing you to travel through ALL of her life. Like Emma's autobiography, "Living My Life", the author aimed to write something that was both flattering and also portrayed Emma as the human she ultimately was.

I love a historical biography. This was super intriguing as I was unfamiliar with this person before reading this book. Emma Goldman is a fascinating person to learn more about. Especially as she lived in a time that women had limited rights and experiences, she truly pioneered in an area of workers rights that truly helped shape the future of work conditions and the labor movement. The book was very detailed and informative. At times, the stories seemed long winded and I found myself wanting the book to end sooner and wrap up the influence and life impact.
