Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an anarchist who has the dubious honor of being expelled from both the United States and the USSR.

Born in Russia, Goldman emigrated to the U.S. in 1885 and lived in New York. Her political activities were radical, and she was involved in an assassination attempt on Henry Clay Frick in 1892. Aftwerwards, she came into conflict with the law regularly.

It is unknown why she was in the capsule when it was launched by sabotage, but once on Mars, she quickly fell to the lies of Raxachk speaking through Rasputin. Emma Goldman came to despise Andrew Carnegie and plotted his destruction, believing that he oppressed his factory workers, and fully admitting to her role in smashing Carnegie's communication mirror. The Avatar found her in Argyre in Martian Dreams, where she proved herself to be totally convinced of Raxachk's ideas... at least, until the point when Raxachk, after the Avatar had cornered him, killed everyone else and fled Rasputin's body, leaving a disturbed Goldman behind. Goldman told the hero how Raxachk had fled to the Dream World with the Phlogistonite, and had the ability to destroy the planet through this means.

Back on Earth, Goldman would continue her anarchist cause, until being arrested in 1917 for trying to hinder the draft for World War I. In 1919 she was expelled back to the USSR. While this expulsion was not official, she was a person non grata in 1925, when she left the USSR. She traveled extensively and wrote several books, before dying in 1940.
