Women's freedom is the sign of social freedom

 “Women's freedom is the sign of social freedom.” 

― Rosa Luxemburg

Luxemburg was born in 1871 in Zamośc. The family were Polish Jews, living in Russian-controlled Poland.

Rosa was a Marxist, philosopher, economist and anti-war activist, who became a naturalised German citizen at 28

She was shot in Berlin in 1919 and her body thrown into the Landwehr Canal.

While often in dispute with Communists in Russia and Germany, the government of the former GDR revered her memory.
