A Dangerous Woman: The Graphic Biography of Emma Goldman by Sharon Rudahl

3.0

This is a graphic biography of the Jewish anarchist activist Emma Goldman, and it definitely fills a niche that was lacking in my history classes. It goes into detail about her upbringing, education, personal life, and travels while chronicling her political career. However, I found it a very slow read, mostly because the text-to-image ratio is just too high for a graphic novel in my opinion. Combine that with busy composition and black and white sketch-style art, and the result is a page spread so cluttered that it is not pleasing to my eye.
