Called ‘a brief comet in the anarchist firmament, blazing out quickly and soon forgotten by all but a small circle of comrades whose love and devotion persisted long after her death,’ by Paul Avrich, Voltairine de Cleyre was a little-known, but crucial link in the early American anarchist milieu of the 20th century. Her gifts as a writer outshone her contemporaries and read like a breath of fresh air even today. This facsimile reprint collection of poems, essays and stories was originally published in 1914 by Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth Publishing Association.
