Marie-Louise Berneri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie Louise Berneri (March 1, 1918 - April 13, 1949) was an anarchist activist and author. She was involved with the short-lived publication, "Revision," with Luis Mercier Vega.

Berneri was a member of the group that edited "Revolt," "War Commentary", and the "Freedom newspaper", which is still being published by the Freedom Bookstore. She also wrote Journey Through Utopia and Neither East Nor West.

Berneri's father Camillo Berneri, was assassinated in Spain in 1937 by the communists. She married Vernon Richards, also an active anarchist with many of the same groups and publications as she.

Marie-Louise Berneri died, along with her baby, during childbirth, 13 April 1949 at the age of 31.

George Woodcock & Ivan Avacumovic dedicated their biography of Peter Kropotkin, The Anarchist Prince (1950) to Marie-Louise Berneri, "a true disciple of Kropotkin."
