Wer datete Voltairine de Cleyre?

Voltairine de Cleyre (* 17. November 1866 in Leslie, Michigan; † 20. Juni 1912 in Chicago) war eine US-amerikanische Autorin und Anarchistin.

Samuel H. Gordon (1871–1906) was a Russian-American physician. Having emigrated to the United States in the early 1890s, he joined the Jewish anarchist movement in Philadelphia and began taking lessons in the English language from Voltairine de Cleyre. Before long, he was engaged in a romantic relationship with her and participated in her anarchist activism, but their relationship quickly became strained after she rejected his marriage proposal. de Cleyre herself paid his way through medical school and he graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1898, after which he left the anarchist movement and broke up with de Cleyre. When de Cleyre was hospitalized by an assassination attempt in 1902, he refused to help her, which ostracized him further from the anarchist movement. Gordon died from gastritis in 1906.

Dyer Daniel Lum (* 15. Februar 1839 in Geneva, New York; † 5. oder 6. April 1893 in New York City) war ein US-amerikanischer Anarchist und Dichter. Er war führender Anarchosyndikalist und Lebenspartner und Mentor der frühen Anarchafeministin Voltairine de Cleyre.

Lum war ein produktiver Autor und schrieb einige Kerntexte des US-amerikanischen Anarchismus. Er schrieb unter anderem in den Zeitschriften Mother Earth, Twentieth Century, Liberty (Benjamin Tuckers individualanarchistisches Magazin), The Alarm (Zeitschrift der IAA) und The Open Court. Nach der Verhaftung Albert Parsons gab Lum The Alarm von 1892 bis 1893 heraus.
