PETRA KELLY – ACT NOW!

Content note: femicide
Petra Kelly was a symbolic figure of the peace movement, an activist for environmental conserva-tion and human rights, an anti-nuclear-power campaigner, one of the cofounders of the German Green Party and a feminist politician. Her energy and strength make her a lasting example for to-day’s politicians and activists. This extensive biography shows how she strove for a better world for all. It sheds light on the conflict between her US political style and the Federal Republic of Germany in the arms race era. It also demonstrates how she was worn down by hatred and misogyny, and ultimately became a victim of femicide. Friends like Otto Schily and activists like Luisa Neubauer emphasise Petra Kelly’s importance today.
