SORE
PREGER
She was a writer in Jewish anarchist
circles in the United States who took part in the six-day joint conference of
anarchists and socialists in New York in 1889.
The conference was to work out a plan to create a joint Yiddish
anarchist-socialist newspaper, but the meeting blew up because of quarreling. The anarchist delegates decided at the time
to publish Fraye arbeter shtime (Free
voice of labor), and it commenced publication in 1890. Together with R. Louis, Dr. Hillel Zolotarov,
M. Gidzhedanskin, and Sh. Yanovski, Preger was among the spokespersons for the
anarchist delegation. Further details of
her biography are unknown.
