Dead Ladies Show Podcast

Episode 51 - Rosa Luxemburg

The world is a troubling place, but we hope you can still find some inspiration out there, and in honor of International Women’s Day, we wanted to bring you the story of a woman who fought, loved, and sacrificed, in troubling times of her own — the revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg. Rosa was a Polish-born Jewish intellectual, socialist, Marxist philosopher, and anti-war activist, whose evocative writing contributed to her legacy.

Her story comes via educator and writer Agata Lisiak, who is currently working on a book about Rosa Luxemburg.

DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer Susan Stone to introduce our featured Dead Lady, and to give a book recommendation guaranteed to lighten up our dark times.

Find our more about Rosa on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/03/08/podcast-51-rosa-luxemburg/

Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

Thanks for listening! We’ll be back with a new episode next month.
