Emma Goldman was a social and political writer, revolutionary activist, and one of the most accomplished speakers in American history. She was a proponent of individualistic anarchism, which she described as the philosophy and theory that government and human laws are intrinsically coercive and harmful to individual liberty. Her commitment to anarchism and to the ideal of freedom led her to champion the causes of labor, antimilitarism, freedom of religion, prison reform, and sexual and reproductive freedom. Her most important contributions to political and social thought include the incorporation of sexual politics into anarchism and her many essays on contemporary issues such as education, birth control, women's emancipation, modern drama, national chauvinism, and crime. A passionate feminist, Goldman believed that a purely political solution was not the answer to inequality between the sexes, and that equality would come only from a massive transformation of values and from women themselves
