This collection features the essays and poetry of Voltairine de Cleyre, a prominent figure in late nineteenth century anarchist and feminist thought. The writing style is formal and reflective, often using poetic language to explore themes of social justice, personal suffering, and human progress. Because the text relies on older vocabulary and complex, rhythmic sentence structures, it may be challenging for some readers. It provides a clear look at the intellectual and emotional concerns of a radical thinker from that era.

Questions about this book
What level of English do I need for this book?
The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 11 h 35 min at a native pace, spread over 62 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
