''This collection is an excellent overview of Goldman's early years and is recommended for larger public and all academic libraries.'' Library Journal ''A real achievement and a major contribution to the study of the American left. [This collection] will, one hopes, inspire scholars, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students to explore the history of that struggle between free speech and free assembly, on the one hand, and the combined forces of power, prudery, and patriotism, on the other.'' Francis G. Couvares, Labor History '' (Goldman's career) as her adoptive country's most notorious anarchist [is] richly displayed in these two volumes of documentary history .'' -Steve Fraser, London Review of Books, 26th Feb 09
