(left) This 1915 handbill publicizes one of Emma Goldman's characteristically diverse lecture series that introduced modern ideas to the American public. Among the documents at The Emma Goldman Papers, the handbill is a striking example of how Goldman placed issues of personal life on a par with war and the economy. No topic was taboo, as her lecture titles suggest.
