Description

Winner of the 2017 Everett Lee Hunt Award presented by the Eastern Communication Association Silver Medalist, 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Women's Issues Category In this book, Donna M. Kowal examines the speeches and writings of the "Most Dangerous Woman in the World" within the context of shifting gender roles in early twentieth-century America. As the notorious leader of the American anarchist movement, Emma Goldman captured newspaper headlines across the country as she urged audiences to reject authority and aspire for individual autonomy. A public woman in a time when to be public and a woman was a paradox, Goldman spoke and wrote openly about distinctly private matters, including sexuality, free love, and birth control. Recognizing women's bodies as a site of struggle for autonomy, she created a discursive space for women to engage in the public sphere and act as sexual agents. In turn, her ideas contributed to the rise of a feminist consciousness that recognized the personal as political and rejected dualistic notions of gender and sex. Review "Kowal's portrayal of Goldman is complex and nuanced, yet easily accessible to both scholarly and public audiences." -- Rhetoric & Public Affairs "By pointing to the long historical trajectory of women's bodies as political tools, Kowal offers an important addition to our understanding of Emma Goldman as a feminist icon and her role in bringing sex into the public sphere." -- H-Net (H-Histsex) "...impressively researched and exceptionally well written ... highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review About the Author Donna M. Kowal is Associate Professor of Communication Studies at The College at Brockport, State University of New York.
