Rosa luxembourg brief biography of marie osmond

Rosa Luxemburg was born on 5 March 1871 in the small town of Zamość in the Russian-occupied part of Poland, the daughter of a wood merchant.  From 1880 to 1887 she attended high school in Warsaw, achieving excellent grades in an environment normally reserved for the daughters of Russian civil servants.

She learned four languages fluently, developing her passion for the word both spoken and written at an early age, and soon enough became politically active in Polish left-wing groups.

In 1889, these activities led to the threat of her arrest, and she fled via Germany to Switzerland.

At the University of Zurich — one of the few higher education institutions to which women had equal access — she first studied natural sciences, then political science and economics. She obtained her doctorate in 1897, admired and marvelled at as the only woman among the sons of landowners, factory owners, and state administrators.

She also began a passionate love affair with the Polish revolutiona
