Free Society (1895–1897 as The Firebrand; 1897–1904 as Free Society) was a major anarchist newspaper in the United States at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries.[1] Most anarchist publications in the US were in Yiddish, German, or Russian, but Free Society was published in English, permitting the dissemination of anarchist thought to English-speaking populations in the US.[1]
The newspaper was established as The Firebrand in 1895 in Portland, Oregon, by the Isaak family, Abraham Isaak, Mary Isaak, and their children, along with some associates; the organization served as "the headquarters of anarchist activity on the [West] Coast".[2]
Notable contributors include[3] Kate Austin, Voltairine de Cleyre, Michael Cohn, Jay Fox, Emma Goldman,[4] Lizzie Holmes, William Holmes, C. L. James,[5] Harry Kelly, James Ferdinand Morton Jr., and Ross Winn.
