On this day in 1871, Polish socialist Rosa Luxemburg was born. So today's #SJComix365 is "Red Rosa" by Kate Evans (Verso Books, 2015). A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of 20th century socialist thought. More than just a thinker/theorist, she made herself heard in a world hostile to the voices of strong-willed women, and Jews. This graphic novel helps to illustrate a vivid life--detailing her many friendships, her intimate relationships, 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 impossible. Red Rosa introduces this giant to a new generation, and hopefully inspires us all to think about and demand our own impossibles. ✨ #redrosa #kateevans #verso #versobooks #socialistreads #rosaluxemburg #graphicbiography #graphichistory #comicsbywomen #comicsaboutwomen #feministreads #socialism #revolutionarysocialism #happybirthdayrosa https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoURITgo-_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j47kzlbsh8v8
