Delving inside political "anarchist" Emma

Goldman’s life, show creator and solo performer Roslyn Alexander reveals the

personal and political passions of this fascinating American icon and shows the

price she paid for her convictions. Lionized by admirers, despised as a rebel and

menaced by her critics – Goldman was ahead of her time, tirelessly championing

movements and issues such as: sexual and reproductive rights for women;

workers’ rights for adults and children and prison reform.
