Gnisten

Last updated

Gnisten ("The Spark") was a Norwegian periodical published by the Communist Party.

Gnisten was started in March 1925 after a lengthy fund-raising campaign. It was started by women in the Communist Party who were not satisfied with the coverage of women's affairs in the Communist Party newspapers, such as Norges Kommunistblad . The periodical did reasonably well under its first editor Jeanette Olsen, and avoided financial problems in the first years. The periodical faced a steep decline when Olsen left the Communist Party and Gnisten in early 1928. The issues came more sporadically, and financial problems rose until the periodical went defunct in 1930. [1]

The party had two other periodicals around the same time: Klassekampen for the Young Communist League of Norway, and Proletaren for ideological articles. [1] Gnisten was also the name of a handwritten newspaper issued by the communist housewives' association in Ålesund. [2]
