| | Personality of the Week - Goldmann |
 | | She was born in Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire, in 1869, where she lived until 1882, when her family moved to St. Petersburg, Russia. |
 | | Her opposition to WW1 and the American participation to it brought about her expulsion from United States in 1918 back to Russia, then in the middle of the Communist Revolution and the Civil War. |
 | | However, Emma Goldman rapidly became disillusioned with the Soviet regime and returned to the West, obtained British citizenship in 1925 and then settled in Canada, from where she strove to return to the United States. |
