Justification of Voltaireine de Cleyre

Sister Veracitude finds a letter from Herman Helcher concealed in the binding of an antique book on Anarchist Thought that she bought at Zangwill's Bazaar. The letter had been smuggled out of the asylum where Helcher was detained after attempting to assassinate Voltaireine de Cleyre, the American writer and feminist who opposed the state, marriage and the domination of religion over sexuality and women's lives.  In 1895 De Cleyre condemned ideals of beauty that encourage women to distort their bodies. For twenty years she  worked amongst the poor of Philadelphia, living among poor Jewish immigrants where sympathy for anarchist beliefs was common. There, she learned to speak and write in Yiddish. (Rabbi Oud Ramonides translates the letter for Sister Veracitude.)
