Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940)

Oh, Emma Goldman, the anarchist queen, with quips sharper than a guillotine.

She famously declared, "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal." Oh, how the politicians must have quivered in their boots! But Emma knew that true progress and enlightenment come not from the majority, but from the minority. And let's face it, if the best intellectual exchange of ideas between the major parties is the Biden-Trump debates, then we're in trouble. As Emma once said, "The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue." And we all know which category those two fellas fall into. Emma Goldman may have been an anarchist, but she sure knew how to stir things up and make us all think. Here's to the rabble-rousers and the troublemakers, may their wit and wisdom never be silenced!
