She was notably involved with fellow anarchist Emma Goldman, although the romantic aspects of that friendship are contested.[1] Personal lifeSperry was born Almeda Sode (or Sodi) in Pennsylvania to Alsatian parents Christian Sode (or Sodi) and Barbara Treitz[2][3] and married on November 26, 1902[4] to an Ohio machinist Fred Sperry. Together, the couple lived for most of the duration of their marriage in Pittsburgh.[5] Her letters to Emma Goldman dating from 1912 reveal much about her personal life: her sexuality, contempt for men, occupation as a prostitute, and financial standing. On her sexuality, she says "I fear I never will love any man. I've seen too much and I am no fool."[6] By the same token, she was emotionally devoted to her husband Fred. In the same letter, she spoke about her prostitution: "I have absolutely no reciprocation as far as passion is concerned for a man who pays me for sex." Sperry died September 10, 1957 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[7] ActivismSperry first became an activist after hearing anarchist Emma Goldman give a speech on white slavery, at least by the year 1912.[8] She became active in union organizing, and also wrote for several radical newspapers.
