Synopsis: Escaping a brutal childhood and the monotony of factory work in Russia, Emma Goldman arrives in New York City, ripe for the Anarchist movement. A fiery speaker, proponent of worker’s rights, women’s reproductive rights and practitioner of Free Love, she becomes caught up in a passionate affair with Ben Reitman. But Emma is tortured by Ben’s many sexual betrayals. Through their combined efforts, she becomes the most notorious woman in America.
