Exquisite Rebel

The Essays of Voltairine de Cleyre -- Anarchist, Feminist, Genius

By: Voltairine de Cleyre

2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Emma Goldman called Voltairine de Cleyre "the most gifted and brilliant anarchist woman America ever produced." Yet her writings and speeches on anarchism and feminism—as radical, passionate, and popular at the time as Goldman's—are virtually unknown today. This important book brings de Cleyre's eloquent and incisive work out of undeserved obscurity. Twenty-one essays are reprinted here, including her classic works: "Anarchism and the American Tradition," "The Dominant Idea," and "Sex Slavery." Three biographical essays are also included: two new ones by Sharon Presley and Crispin Sartwell, and a rarely reprinted one from Emma Goldman. At a time when the mainstream women's movement asked only for the right to vote and rarely challenged the status quo, de Cleyre demanded an end to sex roles, called for economic independence for women, autonomy within and without marriage, and offered a radical critique of the role of the Church and State in oppressing women. In today's world of anti-globalization actions, de Cleyre's anarchist ideals of local self-rule, individual conscience, and decentralization of power still remain fresh and relevant.

The Collected Writings of Voltairine De Cleyre

By: Voltairine De Cleyre,Shirley Strutton Dalton,Laurence E. Dalton

18 poems from American anarchism's outstanding poet - 13 that originally appeared in Mother Earth - 5 anthologized for the first time herein. It includes several of her Haymarket poems, as well as moving tributes to feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, John Peter Altgeld and the Mexican Revolution. In an informative introduction, surrealist poet and labor historian Franklin Rosemont salutes the 'irreducible rage against stifling conventions', the 'free-spirited, no compromise, daredevil intensity' and the 'hauntingly wild and violent lyricism' that are the hallmarks of De Cleyre's poetry - and indeed, of her life.
