Marie Goldsmith
Maria Isidorovna Goldsmith (russian: Мария Исидоровна Гольдсмит; 1862–1933), also known as Marie Goldsmith, was a Russian Jewish anarchist and collaborator of Peter Kropotkin. She also wrote under the pseudonyms Maria Isidine and Maria Korn. Early life and career Maria Isidorovna Goldsmith was born to Jewish and Russian ancestry in 1862 or 1863.

She served as secretary of ''L'Année Biologique'' from 1902 to 1919, and worked closely with its editor, Yves Delage, especially after he became nearly blind in 1904. Toget ...
