> This paper charts the significance of Emma Goldman's revolutionary<br>
> thought for a contemporary analysis of sexuality, gender and revolt.<br>
> Throughout her life (1869-1940) and work Goldman centred sexuality as<br>
> both key to how capitalism functions (particularly for women) and as a<br>
> privileged site for political transformation. Connecting sexuality to<br>
> labour, Goldman's analyses of reproduction, prostitution,<br>
> homosexuality and free love provide a helpful challenge to<br>
> contemporary feminist investments in materialist and cultural analyses<br>
> as opposed, and open up the possibility of an alternative feminist<br>
> history with sexual materialism at its heart. But in claiming<br>
> Goldman's thinking for a post-Marxist queer and feminist politics,<br>
> what do we need to ignore in her thought? What does serious<br>
> consideration of the sexual (but not gendered) essentialism that<br>
> grounds Goldman's thought do to a contemporary vision of feminist<br>
> transformation? Drawing on primary materials and a creative re-reading<br>
> of archival fragments, I suggest that Goldman's sexual politics allows<br>
> for a reinvigorated feminist method (as well as politics) with a real<br>
> connection to others at its heart.<br>
