Emma Goldman, the Lithuanian-born anarchist and writer, appears here in a portrait dated to about 1925, a few years after she had been deported from the United States in 1919 along with hundreds of other immigrants during the Red Scare. By then she was living in exile in Europe, where she continued to lecture and write on anarchism, women's rights and opposition to state power. The image shows her as a determined public figure whose speeches and essays had made her one of the most watched radicals of her era, and it is a useful reminder of how political dissent was treated in the postwar decades.
