Loudmouth: Emma Goldman vs. America (A Love Story Deborah Heiligman)
Both a love letter to America and a stirring rallying cry for the country to live up to the ideals on which it was founded, this propulsive biography from National Book Award Finalist and “nonfiction maestro (Horn Book)” Deborah Heiligman chronicles the extraordinary life and work of groundbreaking political activist Emma Goldman.
★ “Heiligman’s latest . . . solidifies her as one of the absolute best in the business . . . Loudmouth is a master class.” ―Booklist, starred review
Emma Goldman made trouble her whole life. The first time was by accident. Her birth (in Lithuania, in 1869) angered her father. He had wanted a dutiful son, not a headstrong daughter. The other times were on purpose.
