"A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. 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."--

reading this has made me want to read some of luxemburg's actual writings; which i suppose is largely the point of it.

the art is kind of unusual but works and is often dynamic & expressive

if you're going to read the endnotes (i recommend it; they are interesting) i think a good way would be, to read the notes for every section after you read one; they're a bit dense to read after every page, and of course you'll have to remind yourself of the context if you leave reading them to the end
