Description

Rosa Luxemburg was more than just a political thinker. She managed to make her voice heard in a world that was hermetically sealed to female activists. By overcoming both her physical limitations and the prejudices she faced as a Jewish woman, she established herself as a prominent revolutionary whose philosophy permeated every aspect of her productive and creative life.

When large sections of the German left were swept up in the nationalist frenzy in the run-up to the First World War, Luxemburg spearheaded the anti-war movement. In 1919, she was imprisoned and murdered, in the midst of her struggle for a revolution she knew was doomed. In this beautifully illustrated graphic biography, artist Kate Evans aims to make Luxemburg’s work accessible to a wider audience by linking her political ideas with her life story, which is as inspiring as it is moving.

Kate Evans is a comic book creator, artist and activist. Her many publications include *Bump: How to Make, Grow and Birth a Baby* and *Funny Weather: Everything You Didn’t Want to Know about Climate Change but Probably Should Find Out*.
