Description

Louise Michel was the incendiary French leader of the 1871 Paris Commune. An anarchist and irrepressible rebel, she spent much of her life in the run from police, in jail, or in danger of being locked away in mental asylums. Known as 'The Red Virgin', Louise was a central character in one of the greatest popular rebellions in history. Includes commentary by Emma Goldman, Bertolt Brecht, Sheila Rowbotham, Howard Zinn, Victor Hugo and Karl Marx.
