A graphic novel of the dramatic life and death of German revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg. A giant
of the political left Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of
revolutionary socialist thought. To Marx's biographer Franz Mehring no one came as close to
the towering intellect of Marx himself. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made
herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical
infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose
philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life- her many
friendships her sexual intimacies and her love of science nature and art. Always opposed to
the First World War when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism she
was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed.
