Summary "Marriage and Love" by Emma Goldman is a critical essay written in the early 20th century. This work extensively explores the distinctions between the institution of marriage and the concept of love, positing that they are often conflated but are fundamentally different. Goldman argues that marriage primarily serves as an economic arrangement, limiting personal freedom and promoting dependency, particularly for women. In "Marriage and Love," Goldman presents a scathing critique of the institution of marriage, suggesting it leads to a dehumanizing experience that often stifles personal growth and genuine affection. She asserts that while some relationships may begin with love, marriage itself does not foster love; rather, it can undermine it. Goldman argues that the societal conditioning around marriage restricts individuals, especially women, and posits that free love, based on genuine connection and autonomy, is the true foundation for meaningful relationships. In her view, love must exist independently of the constraints imposed by societal norms and expectations imposed by marriage, advocating for a future where relationships are based on mutual respect and individual choice.
