Rosa Luxemburg

Zusatztext

Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was a Polish born-German socialist, Marxist philosopher, and anti-war activist. Luxemburg argued against the centralisation of power advocated by Lenin, among others, and defended free thought and democracy as well as advocating for womens rights. She was a central figure in the emancipation of women and the working classes, refusing to assume a marginalised position within the socialist movement because she was a woman. She is known for her key role in the foundation of the Polish Social Democratic Party and the Spartacus League, which later became the Communist party of Germany. The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.
