Socialist and Anarchist Women

It occurred to me that of all of the intellectual endeavors undertaken by Humankind, the Leftist, particularly the Socialist and Anarchist, movements can boast the largest representation of female geniuses.

It would seem as though Socialism and Anarchism provide unique outlet for particularly feminine genius.

The outstanding women figures in Leftist movements that come most immediately to mind are:

Lucy Parsons

Louise Michel

Emma Goldman

Helen Keller

Marie Louise Berneri

Voltairine DeCleyre

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn

Dora Marsden

Federica Montseny

Margaret Sanger

Rosa Luxembourg

Elizabeth Jane Cochran (aka Nellie Bly)

Rose Pesotta

Angela Davis

I am hard-pressed to think of any other intellectual-activist field so graced.

ANARCHY ARCHIVES

A FREE Online Research Center on the History and Theory of Anarchism

Many of the books that you might spend a fortune buying can be found on a site called Anarchy Archives on the net as free downloads.

When you click on the name of the Anarchists who appear on the site (don't overlook the "Lesser But Bright Lights Link"! Many of them are in no wise lesser light, IMO.) you'll see a link that says "Collected Works" on their page.

That link will take you to entire books, articles, essays, etc. Most are in English, but some are in other languages as well.
