LSB was an essayist, philosopher and poet, one of a very small handful of publishing anarcho-communist women. She issued three collections of poetry, over thirty essays, and a small number of translations in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In the course of her life, she developed into a vociferous activist for communal governance of society free from money, religion, and state apparatus, and supported violence as a necessary element of revolution. Her work is strongly tied to post-Darwinian theories of evolution.
