There are very few books on anarchism or anarchist authors in Poland - and even fewer female authors.
Such names of female anarchists as Lucy Parsons, Voltairine de Cleyre, Maria Nikiforowna, Louise Michel, Maria Orsetti and others are completely unknown.
No wonder: no books are published either by them or about them.
The exception is Emma Goldman, although even so, most often people know only one quote from her (and that without knowing the context in which she famously said the words), although fortunately a book “Anarchism and Other Essays” was published many years ago.)
There is a chance to translate and publish another book by Emma Goldman entitled "Anarchism. “My Disillusionment with Russia.” Like many others, the October Revolution (or, as some anarchists prefer: counter-revolution) disappointed Emma, who watched its course in detail.
The question is: does anyone have and can give or lend this book? If not, can anyone recommend where to buy it from? So far I’ve only been able to find it on Empik and Amazon, and surely there are better places to get this title.
*As far as I know, the publication of this book has encountered censorship problems. So please give me a hint which edition of this book is the best, probably even approved by the author.
Also, OP, I’m reading a book about Mary Shelley and her mum Mary Wollstonecraft. The latter was present during the French Revolution and was disillusioned by the violence and degradation of women’s rights she saw. So it’s very interesting to see more women’s writings on such topics.
Thanks for introducing me to the book!
