On the surface of things the two look to be polar opposites: Emma Goldman is an anarchist, and Evelyn, a model. Still, both defy gender roles. Goldman is outspoken and educated instead of subservient and quiet while Evelyn embraces infidelity and her sexuality. There is a subtext of an intimate union between the two suggesting an amount of homo-eroticism.
