Working closely with Most, Minkin contributed to the German anarchist paper Freiheit, and took over editorial responsibilities during her husband's many incarcerations as well as after his death in 1906.[1] She later went on to write her memoirs, which were later translated and published as a collection, Storm in My Heart: Memories from the Widow of Johann Most, which provides her personal perspective of her and Most's lives, as well as a close look into the conditions of late 19th- and early 20th-century immigrant life in the United States.[2]
