1973List3007United States 1973. Single photograph measuring 8 x 10 inches. Manuscript captions verso reading “Florence Kennedy / Fla / Womens Lib†and “FLORYNCE KENNEDY / WOMEN’S RIGHTS†with stamps “PHOTO BY AKIRA SUWA†and “MAR4-1973â€. Near Fine. Florynce Kennedy 1916–2000 was an African American activist lecturer and lawyer. She attended Columbia University as a pre-law student graduating in 1948; she was rejected from Columbia Law School but the decision was reversed when she threatened legal action for racial and gender discrimination. Kennedy went into private practice in 1954; she represented Billie Holliday’s and Charlie Parker’s estates and defended Black Panthers H. Rap Brown and Assata Shakur and radical feminist Valerie Solanas. She founded The Feminist Party which nominated Shirley Chisholm for president sued the Catholic Church lectured on issues of race and gender and organized and participated in numerous protests.<br /> <br /> Shortly after this photograph was taken in 1973 Kennedy organized the National Black Feminist Organization. The group first met in New York City and its first attendees included Faith Ringgold Ringgold’s daughter Michele Wallace Margaret Sloan-Hunter and other prominent African American feminist activists. In the photograph Kennedy wears a pin reading “DEFEAT THE FETUS FETISHISTSâ€. Abortion rights were an important cause for Kennedy; the pin is likely related to the October 1973 protests by the Women’s National Abortion Action Coalition against the New York City Archdiocesan “Respect Life Week†where the slogan appeared on many protestors’ signs.1<br /> <br /> 1 “Respect Life Week Stresses the Unborn†The New York Times October 3 1972 22. unknown

Duodecimo 19 cm Beige cloth over boards with a black ink stamped title on the backstrip and front board and black ink stamped single-ruled borders on the front board.

Very occasional brief markings mostly in the form of hatching in pencil and colored pencil. With two newspaper clippings pertaining to Emma Goldman "Red Emma" laid in. A classic of radical literature. Third edition printed on front cover. Emma Goldman was once viewed as "the most dangerous woman in America" and was a thinker so far ahead of her time that even today her views seem strikingly revolutionary. This collection of essays is a magnificent introduction to her thoughts: ranging from her views on women's suffrage and emancipation patriotism's menace to liberty the psychology of political violence the prison system "a social crime and failure" the hypocrisy of Puritanism and the strategies of dissent. These writings all reflect her fearless joyousness her radical dedication to the idea that life is meant to be a source of delight- and that avoiding the meaningless grind of everyday life must be achieved in any way possible.<br /> <br /> This copy is inscribed not to a specific person by Emma Goldman on the front free endpaper: "Emma Goldman / Portland August / 1916."<br /> <br /> Emma Goldman 1869-1940 was born in Kovno now Kaunas Lithuania. She grew up in what is now Kaliningrad Russia and in St. Petersburg. Her formal education was limited but she read widely and in St. Petersburg became involved with a radical student circle. She immigrated to the United States in 1885 first settling in Rochester New York then in New Haven Connecticut where she worked in clothing factories and came into contact with socialist and anarchist groups. Subsequently she moved to New York City where in 1893 she was jailed for inciting a riot when a group of unemployed workers reacted to a fiery speech she had delivered. In 1895 upon her release Goldman began lecturing throughout Europe and the United States and later in 1906 Goldman founded Mother Earth a periodical that she edited until its suppression in 1917. Goldman's naturalization as a U.S. citizen was revoked by a legal stratagem in 1908. Two years later she published Anarchism and Other Essays.<br /> <br /> An early edition of Goldman's famous essays signed by the much revered revolutionary activist author just under a year before she was sentenced to two years in prison for her opposition to the U.S. involvement in World War I and for agitating against mandatory military service.

In the original printed dustwrapper priced $2.00 on spine panel; gently rubbed and worn with shallow losses at head at foot of spine panel and a small 1/4" chip to rear panel; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Future utopia set in the year 1950 in which the women of the world go on strike against matrimony using abstinence as a lever to take control of world government and eliminate war. The theme of "lysistratic nonaction" i.e. the "sex strike" is a recurring one in Progressive Era utopias appearing for example in George Noyes Miller's The Strike of A Sex 1891; Begum Rokeya's Sultana's Dream 1908 and less directly in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland 1915. In the current iteration written by a Missouri Methodist minister and issued by a religious publishing house the sexual implications of "non-matrimony" are left more or less to the reader's imagination. What the author does not shy away from is the validity and importance of women's recently-won political influence: "Feeling a real humiliation in the messed-up condition of world affairs brought about by my own sex I share the faith expressed by Mrs. J. Borden Harriman.that 'women may yet find some way to lead the race away from self-destruction'.and with Carrie Chapman Catt.that it is 'the task of women to demilitarize the minds of the world'" from the author's Preface. A somewhat uncommon and generally unrecognized feminist utopia rarely seen in dustwrapper; this a very clean copy. HANNA 407. SARGENT p.96. LEWIS Utopian Literature p.24.
