Fiery, lyrical, and fiercely independent, Voltairine de Cleyre stands among the great voices of American radicalism. This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text of her Selected Works—the landmark 1914 collection gathering her essays, speeches, poems, and fiction—exactly as it first appeared, now accompanied by a new introduction and reader's notes to guide modern audiences through her world. Here de Cleyre argues for liberty without rulers, examines the roots of oppression in marriage, religion, and the state, and reflects on the Haymarket affair that shaped her life's course. Writing with a poet's precision and a reformer's urgency, she remains startlingly relevant on questions of freedom, equality, and conscience. Whether you are discovering her for the first time or returning to a beloved classic, this carefully annotated volume invites a new generation to read one of history's most compelling thinkers in her own words.
