Marriage and Love, by Emma Goldman, is a collection of essays that explore the changing nature of marriage and love in the early twentieth century. Goldman argues that marriage has become a form of economic and social control, and that it is no longer based on love or mutual respect. She argues that the institution of marriage has become oppressive and that it is time for a new understanding of love and marriage. She also examines the role of women in marriage and society, and the need for women to have greater freedom and autonomy. The book also includes essays on topics such as birth control, free love, and the need for sexual education.
