Product Details

Praise

“A radical of luminous dimension.”
—Vivian Gornick

“Rosa goes on being our source of fresh water in thirsty times.”
—Eduardo Galeano

“Intrepid, incorruptible, passionate and gentle. Imagine as you read between the lines of what she wrote, the expression of her eyes. She loved workers and birds. She danced with a limp. Everything about her fascinates and rings true. One of the immortals.”
—John Berger

“One cannot read the writings of Rosa Luxemburg, even at this distance, without an acute yet mournful awareness of what Perry Anderson once termed ‘the history of possibility.'”
—Christopher Hitchens, Atlantic

“Luxemburg’s criticism of Marxism as dogma and her stress on consciousness exerted an influence on the women’s liberation movement which emerged in the late ’60s and early ’70s.”
—Sheila Rowbotham, Guardian
