In the last two decades, Emma Goldman has become a largely forgotten figure in history. But in a world where a handful of rich men control the government, where women fight to control their bodies, and immigrants escaping war and poverty are met with fear and mistrust - well, it could be Austin, 2015 or New York, 1914, but whenever we are we need to find the crowd-charging, hard-writing, fast-dancing, freedom-fighting, polyamorous, Lithuanian-Jewish, anarcho-feminist firebrand inside us all! It’s time to answer the question, where, oh where is...Emma when you need her?
