Emma Donoghue, novelist, literary historian, teacher, playwright, radio and film scriptwriter (born 24 October 1969 in Dublin, Ireland).

Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman, anarchist, anti-war activist, writer, organizer (Born 27 June 1869 in Kovno, Russian Empire [now Kaunas, Lithuania]; died 14 May 1940 in Toronto, ON). One of the world’s leading anarchists, Emma Goldman dedicated her life to anti-war activism and social justice organizing. Her lectures on anarchism attracted thousands and fostered dedicated community networks. She was deported from the US in 1919 due to her anti-war activism and lived in exile for more than 20 years. She lived for several years in Toronto, where she was closely monitored by the RCMP. Goldman's lasting impact on Toronto can be seen in the city's continued engagement in progressive social movements. In 2025, the Museum of Toronto named Goldman one of 52 women who shaped the city. This article was created in collaboration with Museum of Toronto.
