In this letter from 1980, writer and activist Ethel Mannin (1900-1984) refers to her own involvement with anarchism, and comments on anarchists Emma Goldman, Marie Louise Berneri and Kitty Lamb. I had written asking if she would agree to be interviewed by members of the anarchist feminist history group, as part of our research into anarchist women in Britain. Sadly we never did get to meet her in person, and got only the briefest of replies to some questions we subsequently sent her. I’m uploading it now in the hope that (after all these years lurking in my filing cabinet) it may be of some use to other researchers.
