"This is a very intriguing, exhaustive autobiography that puts the lie to many of the flippant treatments you read/hear of Emma Goldman elsewhere. She was not some unbalanced romantic trying to compensate for a bad childhood or an inhumane psychotic, but instead a reflective, caring, passionate person who stood up for issues and people that/who were extremely unpopular in her day (and some of them still are). Her ideas were radical and her critiques of capitalist society salient.
Still, it is easy to get lost in this book. There's an endless array of characters, developments, and locations, all of which keep doubling back and changing as time passes. Further, I found myself wishing to hear more of her voice on the various issues, not just a recounting of events and personalities. For that, I've turned to a book of her essays.
In short, this book is a long road to a better understanding of an absolutely vital person in the history of social justice and change."
"Sympathy for the oldest profession. Incarceration for public speech. A swinger in a time of sexual repression, and most importantly, one of the greatest voices for fair labor practices in all of human history. Living My Life will give you all the strength you need to live yours. This book is a pure inspiration."
"Yep, five stars like I thought. I may not have enjoyed this memoir for lyrical qualities and literary conventions. But, feck lyrics and conventions. Through her memoir, Goldman subtly reminds her reader to keep things in a perspective of sorts (a couple conceptual steps back, if you will). What's more important? Literary conventions or humanitarian ideals? Money and power or love and dignity? I've been moved by many a memoir, but Goldman's holds a special place (right next to Jensen's A Language Older than Words) in my heart for a handful of reasons (among others that I'm sure will continue to come to me as I grow older): 1. I learned more about myself by reading this book than I could have done in months of silent retreats and isolated soul searching. 2. Goldman gave me the confidence to believe in and live my ideals, even when facing what might seem like an insurmountable challenge. 3. She gives anarchism a good name--the kind it deserves."
"I can't believe it took me so long to read this given that I love autobiographies and this one is regarded as such a classic. Maybe the length of Emma's work made me apprehensive. Anyways, reading about her life was pretty incredible and insightful, and fulfilled my desire to read about anarchist history in a way that wasn't boring. I was particularly engrossed by how much detail she provides on her relationships, but this seamlessly weaves in and out of her anarchism. And she lived with two lovers at once! Even our contemporary ga-ga for open-relationships scene would raise an eyebrow at something like this. I could talk about the rest of this book for a long time, so I'll just leave it there."
