Emma Goldman: “Marriage and Love”

( 1910 ) Commentary by Ron Briley, Sandia Preparatory School

“The institution of marriage makes a parasite of women, an absolute dependent. It incapacitates her for life's struggle, annihilates her social consciousness, paralyzes her imagination, and then imposes its gracious protection, which is in reality a snare, a travesty on human character.” - “Marriage and Love”
“If the world is ever to give birth to true companionship and oneness, not marriage, but love will be the parent.” - “Marriage and Love”
