Revolutionary on the barricades of the Paris Commune, tried before the War Council of France, deported to a penal colony, received by enthusiastic crowds upon her return, brilliant lecturer throughout Europe, continuously followed by the police, participant in spectacular trials and demonstrations, threatened by assassins, imprisoned time and again, Louise Michel, writer, teacher, poet, feminist, is one of the most extraordinary legends in the literature of freedom.

Edith Thomas has written the first complete biography of this famous anarchist with passion and with a critical balance. The author's research took her through the Historical Archives of the French Prefecture of Police to the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam.
