Free Women based their activities upon the dialog, the solidarity and the equality of differences. It was therefore a model for the social movements of the current dialogical societies of the XXIst Century, in which these elements basic are to overcome the social inequalities. Free Women organization was created in the framework of the libertarian movement shortly before the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. It was one of the movements with greatest impact upon the lives of the worker and peasant women. More than twenty thousand women enrolled the organization, almost all of them young women, workers and with no academic education. They got organized in order to overcome what they called the triple slavery of the worker woman: slavery as a woman, slavery as a worker and slavery for the lack of opportunities to gain access to education. They were the main actresses of the complete transformation of their own lives. They didn't only claim for labor and social equality, but they also transformed their personal relationships, love and the sexuality, contributing to the overcoming of a traditional masculinity model based upon power relationships and double standards. Laura Ruiz is a researcher at the University of Barcelona.

C’est l’histoire d’une femme exceptionnelle qui pensait que la révolution sociale passait d’abord par la révolution de l’intime, d’une rebelle qui lutta pour le droit de rester vivant dans ses sens, de jouir de la liberté de pensée et de parole, de rejeter l’usage arbitraire du pouvoir. Résister. Refuser, au plus profond de soi, d’accepter le monde tel qu’il est lorsqu’il semble injuste, c’est ce que fit Emma Goldman. Pour Vivian Gornick, qui en brosse le premier portrait psychologique, il existe un tempérament qui fait que quelqu’un devient activiste, et ce tempérament, Emma le possédait. Elle nous invite ici à ressentir ce que Goldman a ressenti, à réfléchir à ce qui l'a poussée à se battre contre des conditions que ses contemporains acceptaient docilement, et à nous demander si les choses sont si différentes aujourd’hui.

In Considering Emma Goldman Clare Hemmings examines the significance of the anarchist activist and thinker for contemporary feminist politics. Rather than attempting to resolve the tensions and problems that Goldman's thinking about race, gender, and sexuality pose for feminist thought, Hemmings embraces them, finding them to be helpful in formulating a new queer feminist praxis. Mining three overlapping archives—Goldman's own writings, her historical and theoretical legacy, and an imaginative archive that responds creatively to gaps in those archives —Hemmings shows how serious engagement with Goldman's political ambivalences opens up larger questions surrounding feminist historiography, affect, fantasy, and knowledge production. Moreover, she explores her personal affinity for Goldman to illuminate the role that affective investment plays in shaping feminist storytelling. By considering Goldman in all her contradictions and complexity, Hemmings presents a queer feminist response to the ambivalences that also saturate contemporary queer feminist race theories.
