The influence of women in the social life of the Federal Republic of Germany is constantly growing. Gender equality is being realized in ever new spheres of life under the protection of the constitutional guarantee in Article 3 (2) of the Basic Law. The early developmental history of women's emancipation is characterized by the courageous outburst of significant loners from social conventions. Her work was signal and example. With the new special postage stamp series, the Deutsche Bundespost presents four important women from German political life. Headshots are used for the four values ​​of the special postage stamp series: Rosa Luxemburg was born on 15 March 1871 in Zamosc in Russian Poland. She joined a Polish revolutionary circle at an early age and fled across the border - not yet 18 years old. She studied political science at the University of Zurich and graduated with a doctorate in law. From 1896 she lived in Germany; By marriage she acquired German citizenship. As a theoretical spokesman for Marxists in German social democracy, she fought for a transformation of society in the interest of working people. One of the central aims of this struggle was for them freedom, which, as it held up to non-democratic socialists, "can only ever be the freedom of the dissident." After the outbreak of the first Russian revolution in 1905 she went illegally to Warsaw. After returning to Germany, she worked from 1907 as a lecturer at the central party school of the SPD. Out of this work arose the "Introduction to National Economics", published only after her death, as well as her theoretical major work "The Accumulation of Capital. A contribution to the economic explanation of imperialism. " As a convinced pacifist and citizen of the world, Rosa Luxemburg saw a severe stroke of fate in the First World War. Together with Karl Liebknecht she sought to collect uncompromising war opponents in the SPD, first in the "International Group", then in the "Spartakusbund". On 18.2.1915 she was sentenced to serve a one-year prison sentence. On January 22, 1916 she was free again, but already on July 10, 1916, the prison gates closed again behind her until November 9, 1918. She consumed in the fight against the new government for the continuation of the revolution, which also founding should serve the KPD.
