The Word was an American magazine focusing on individualist anarchism and free love. It was founded in 1872[1] and ran until 1893.[2] The magazine was edited by Ezra Heywood and Angela Heywood from 1872–1890 and 1892–1893, and was issued first from Princeton and then from Cambridge, Massachusetts.[3]
The Word was subtitled "A Monthly Journal of Reform", and it included contributions from Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, and Joshua K. Ingalls. Initially, The Word presented free love as a minor theme which was expressed within a labor reform format, but the publication later evolved into an explicitly free love periodical.[3] At some point Tucker became an important contributor but later became dissatisfied with the journal's focus on free love since he desired a concentration on economics.[3]
