I give you the single greatest author and most innovative woman to ever live:

Emma Goldman

political authors are not really the greatest writers.

well, thanks, really...

... but I would feel more comfortable if you would take her with you again. We just would stop feeding her, you know...

True but they often inspire a reaction fiction authors can never achieve, along with religious authors their pens can actually change the real world.

Link her works. If we disregard one pamphlet I am not familiar with her.

one question, though: do you like her because she is linked to the anarchism brand on wikipedia? if it's the case you'd better through a look into a current political science curriculum.
Get the wealth of ideas for the history of economic thought and something by Mankiw for current economic issues. The best modern day equivalent to an 1910s anarchist is Habermas with his communicative action.

That I could have googled myself. Pick the essay you consider to be best as a connoisseur and throw a few descriptive lines on why you've chosen it.

I think op was attempting to stir some enraged reaction because he thought the pamphlets and speeches directed at factory workers must be considered bad literature per se.
Emma Goldman was an agitator. We cannot measure her in other terms than oratory and hers certainly was good.

My favorite part about Emma Goldman is when she became an old woman and realized that all her battles were horseshit.
