Chi uscì con Voltairine de Cleyre?

Voltairine de Cleyre (Leslie, 17 novembre 1866 – Chicago, 20 giugno 1912) è stata un'anarchica, scrittrice e attivista femminista statunitense.

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, né en 1839, est un activiste et poète américain. Il se suicide le 6 avril 1893, au terme d’une grave dépression.

C’était un activiste progressiste et anarchiste américain qui a essentiellement été connu comme camarade des anarchistes collectivistes de Haymarket Square et avocat de la violence révolutionnaire.

C’était aussi un adepte des positions économiques de Benjamin Tucker et un apologue du syndicalisme. Comme idéologue radical, Lum ne faisait pas qu’écrire pour ses amis ou pour les historiens de l’avenir, mais il essayait d’expliquer, de critiquer et de résoudre beaucoup des problèmes qu’engendre l’industrialisation.

Après l’arrestation et l’exécution de d’Albert Parsons, il assurera la publication du journal The Alarm en collaboration avec Lizzie Holmes.
