Exquisite Rebel: The Essays of Voltairine de Cleyre -- Anarchist, Feminist, Genius

More about the book

Voltairine de Cleyre, celebrated by Emma Goldman as a brilliant anarchist, challenges the mainstream women's movement of her time with radical ideas on feminism and anarchism. This collection features twenty-one of her essays, including influential works like "Anarchism and the American Tradition" and "Sex Slavery," alongside biographical pieces by Sharon Presley, Crispin Sartwell, and Goldman. De Cleyre's calls for economic independence, autonomy, and a critique of institutional oppression resonate powerfully in contemporary discussions of individual rights and anti-globalization movements.
