Anarchist and activist who envisioned freedom from capitalism, religion, and gender discrimination through her writings and speeches. Goldman was also known for her fiery speeches, causing the press and government leaders to term her as dangerous, exemplifying that violence was an appropriate measure to battle unjust social conditions. She was often arrested at many occasions because of her radical views and writings, accused of conspiring for Former President McKinley's death in 1901, and eventually deported to Russia.
