The first time was by accident. Her birth (in Lithuania, in 1869) angered her father. He had wanted a dutiful son, not a headstrong daughter. The other times were on purpose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen she arrived in America as a young woman, she loved its democratic ideals but was appalled by its hypocrisy. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness seemed to be only for those at the top. Something had to be done for everyone else. Someone had to speak up. Soon Emma was delivering rousing speeches on topics like workers' rights, feminism, and the atrocities of capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the story of Emma's complex love affair with America. It's also the story of her many romances with the men she met while trying to change America. Emma believed marriage was disempowering to women and lived her life according to the principles of free love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmma called herself an anarchist and a freethinker. Her critics called her a troublemaker, a \"loudmouth.\" But sometimes you need to be loud, if you want your voice to be heard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeborah Heiligman is a National Book Award finalist, a YALSA Nonfiction Award winner, and a Printz Honor winner.
