From School Library Journal:

Grade 7 Up-- Goldman, a lesser-known political activist, is brought to life in this new addition to the series. The Russian-born woman immigrated to the U. S. to flee personal and political domination. Soon after her arrival, the Haymarket Square riot of 1886 sparked in her the need to fight for people's rights and thus began her lifelong career as leader to the oppressed. Waldstreicher treats Goldman fairly without romanticizing her fight. The book is clear and concise with wide margins, captioned black-and-white photos on almost every page, an extensive index, and a chronology of Goldman's life. --Anne Marie Lilly, Reeths-Puffer Junior High School, Muskegon, MI
