Emma Goldman, international anarchist, was born in Lithuania and emigrated to the United States when she was 16. She worked in a clothing factory in Rochester, New York, and attended meetings of German socialists. In 1889, she moved to New York City and became associated with the Russian anarchist, Alexander Berkman. Goldman conducted anarchist activities in the United States from 1890 to 1917 and served a two year prison term for obstructing the military draft. Goldman and Berkman were deported to Russia in 1919. She later lived in England, Canada and Spain. She wrote many books including, My disillusionment in Russia (1923) and an autobiography, Living my life (1931).
