Living my Life

About “Living my Life”

Living My Life is the autobiography of Emma Goldman, a Lithuanian-born anarchist who became a prominent activist in the United States. Published in two volumes in 1931 and 1934, the book was written while Goldman lived in Saint-Tropez, France, after losing faith in the Bolsheviks following the Russian Revolution. The autobiography details her personal and political life from her early years through 1927. It has remained in print since its initial publication, in both original and abridged editions. The book does not cover her involvement in the Spanish Civil War, as it was published nine years before her death in 1940.
