About this book
Emma Goldman / 1923 letter to Magnus Hirschfield
Author: Emma Goldman
Year: 1923
Letter written by Emma Goldman to Magnus Hirschfield, Berlin, 1923. PDF from the Emma Goldman Papers, International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam) “Goldman’s article was a response to an earlier piece by Karl von Levetzow alleging the lesbianism of Louise Michel, a charismatic French anarchist who died in 1905. Goldman’s essay is cast in the form of a letter dated to Magnus Hirschfield, Berlin, March 1923: it constitutes a pro-homosexual but critical and sophisticated discussion of that form of defense which tried to establish the same-sex orientation of worthy, talented, or famous historical figures—as a response to the popular, totally negative portrayal of homosexuals.” from http://www.angelfire.com/ok/Flack/emma.html
