"Anarchism and Other Essays" is a collection of essays written by Emma Goldman, a prominent anarchist in the United States. Published in 1910, the book explores various topics including the oppression of women, shortcomings of first wave feminism, prisons, political violence, sexuality, religion, nationalism, and art theory. The essays were adapted from Goldman's lectures given during fundraising tours for her journal, Mother Earth. The collection received favorable reviews, although some critics disagreed with Goldman's stance on political violence. One essay in particular, "The Traffic in Women," has been widely discussed in feminist circles for its insights on marriage, sexuality, and prostitution. Overall, the book and Goldman's ideas continue to contribute to ongoing debates in feminism.
