Emma Goldman (1869−1940) was a nurse, anarchist, lecturer and revolutionary, who was twice arrested for violating the Comstock Law, which prohibited the distribution of birth-control literature. The preceding “answers” first appeared, respectively, in “Woman’s Suffrage” (1914), “The Traffic in Women” (1910) and “Marriage and Love” (1916).
