“All these busybodies, moral detectives, jailers of the human spirit, what will they say?”

Feminist reading of Emma Goldman’s essays is organized on the occasion of March 8 International Women Day as a symbolic celebration of the fights for gender justice all over the world.

Morality, Puritanism and the Spirit of Artful Living 4.3. 19:00

“However, it is with the effect of Morality upon women that I am here mostly concerned. So disastrous, so paralyzing has this effect been, that some even of the most advanced among my sisters never thoroughly outgrow it”

E.G.: Victims of morality (1913)

E.G.: The Hypocrisy of Puritanism (1910)

Lynne M. Adrian:  Emma Goldman and the Spirit of Artful Living: Philosophy and Politics in the Classical American Period (2007)
