Second episode of Naked Readings is with you! This time we read a short essay 'Marriage and Love' by Emma Goldman, written in 1914. In this piece the beloved anarchist Goldman discusses the institution of marriage and how different it is from Love. A short extract to wet your appetite: 'If, however, woman is free and big enough to learn the mystery of sex without sanction of State or Church, she stand condemned as utterly unfit to become the wife of a 'good' man, his goodness consisting of an empty head and plenty of money. Can there be anything more outrageous than the idea that a healthy, grown woman, full of life and passion, must deny nature's demand, must subdue her most intense craving, undermine her health and break her spirit, must stunt her vision, abstain from the depth and glory of sex experience until a 'good' man comes along to take her unto himself as a wife? That is precisely what marriage means.' Yes! more than 100 years later and still makes sense.
