Emma Goldman, U.S. anarchist, feminist, compelling advocate of free speech, the eight-hour work day, and birth control, was arrested in New York City on Feb. 11, 1916, just prior to giving another public lecture on family planning. She was charged with violating the Comstock Act, an 1873 statute banning transportation of "obscene" matter through the mails or across state lines. At the time, federal courts interpreted the statute as prohibiting distribution of contraception information.
