Letter to Comrade [Thomas H. Keell]
Title:
Letter to Comrade [Thomas H. Keell]
Description:
Anarchist Emma Goldman worked as a nurse and midwife on the Lower East Side of New York in the 1890s. She became a mentor to Margaret Sanger and brought her into the fight against the Comstock Law of 1873. When Goldman was arrested in 1916, she managed to turn the trial into a national forum on birth control. In this letter, she criticizes Sanger for focusing on birth control as a single issue, rather than working on the larger political, social, and economic forces that led to its suppression.
