Welcome to the companion website to my book Emma Goldman: Political Thinking in the Streets (Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield, 2011).

Are you concerned about:
These issues have histories – we have fought these battles before. We can better understand the problems we face today, and the possible solutions we could pursue, by looking at the past struggles provoked by these same problems.
Emma Goldman and her fellow anarchists were central figures in our radical past, but they have been largely forgotten. During the 15 years that I have been researching Goldman and the anarchist movement, I have made a number of remarkable finds. Ibegan to make lists: radical women I knew nothing about; anarchist journals I had never heard of; violence against workers that has been neglected by all but the most determined labor historians. Past battles to organize workplaces, securereproductive freedom, and oppose war come to life in these neglected histories.
This website is dedicated to making these lists public. Some of these lists are included in my book, but the limitations of paper publishing made full inclusion impractical. Here you will find Emma Goldman’s Women: these are anarchists,feminists, and their fellow travelers in progressive circles who worked with Goldman, supported her, or worked in related political spaces to fight for birth control, freedom of speech, union rights, and an end to war. Eventually a fuller list ofanarchist journals and anti-labor violence will be added to this website; in the meantime, I am concentrating on expanding the list of women involved in anarchist or related politics during Goldman’s lifetime. You will find other lists in my book:one documents anarchist journals that created a critical counter public of informed readers; another lists instances of violence against labor in the U.S., documenting the bloody battles to organize workplaces that won the right tobargain collectively. These are histories that we can use.
The Archive Effect
By preserving and expanding these lists, I strive to recreate for readers the experience that I call the archive effect. The archive effect is the sensory and intellectual outcome of wandering: moving through letters, government documents,journals, essays, books, notes, etc., and spotting shiny things, precious bits of information, passing references to a person or an event that was important to Goldman or her fellow anarchists but has since faded from view. I began collecting thesebits, wondering about them, looking eagerly for more. The weight of these details far exceeds any generalizations I can make about them. The archive effect is the outcome of immersing oneself in a forest of details, trying to find or impose patterns,while still letting the enormous variety speak for itself.
The longer argument interpreting this data and arguing for its significance is in my book. I hope you will consult it. Meanwhile, I invite you to experience something like the archive effect. Perhaps you will read patiently through the lists; orskim hurriedly; or maybe search for a specific name or a place. I invite you to dwell in the lists for a while, take in the density of all these specific people and places, and let the fabric of these histories settle into you. You might try readingevery tenth entry, or the top and bottom of every page. Perhaps you could read out loud with a friend, taking turns. I hope that meeting all these women who were involved in anarchist or related activities in Goldman's day will make you suspicious ofthe common claim that Goldman was an exceptional woman in an otherwise male dominated movement. I hope that seeing all these anarchist journals will suggest the remarkable, under-appreciated role that anarchists played in creating public space in theU.S. during this fertile political time, and might make you curious about similar contributions from anarchists today. I hope that the bleak accounts of violence against labor in the United States will alert you to a hidden history of capitalism'sbloody price, while giving contemporary assaults on unions a larger and more alarming context.
You can contribute!
There are many scholarly challenges with lists. They are never complete. They suggest a misplaced precision, as though it were clear where the borders lie between people, organizations, and events. Women often change their names. Anarchist editorsoften rename their journals, as governments close down one operation, only to have it spring up elsewhere. This mobility is especially obvious in my effort to capture all the labor actions in which workers were killed or injured in the U.S. duringGoldman's time. The most famous of these events have names and years attached to them: Haymarket, 1896; Ludlow, 1914; Homestead, 1892. But often this illusion of a specific event with a beginning and an end masks an ongoing epistemic, systemicviolence, an angry pulse out of which particular confrontations periodically erupted. Consequently, there may be duplications or confusions among people, journals, and events, which I hope readers will help me solve.
I invite you to contribute to these lists. If you know of another radical woman who moved within Emma Goldman's world, another anarchist journal that put critical ideas into circulation, or another assault on workers in the U.S during Goldman'slifetime (1869-1940), please let me know, and please include your source of information. If you know more about any of these women, journals, or labor actions, I hope you will share it with me. I can be reached at kferguso@hawaii.edu.
