By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper. Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey. Educator, poet, dramatist, novelist, movement historian, orator and  agitator Louise Michel rose to prominence during the Paris Commune  (1870-71) and  was one of some 4,500 Communards deported to New  Caledonia in 1872. Michel acquired a commanding public profile in the  last decades of the nineteenth century - her mere presence at a meeting  was enough to guarantee a large and enthusiastic audience and a 50,000  crowd turned out  for her funeral in 1905. The Great Anarchists pamphlet series is published by Dog Section Press and Active Distribution. See:  www.dogsection.org  and  www.activedistributionshop.org  for more details.
