>
> Alice Schwarzer was born in Wuppertal in 1942. She began her business
> apprenticeship in 1959, studied languages in Paris (1964/65) and
> completed a traineeship at the Duesseldorfer Nachrichten (1966-68),
> returning to France in 1970 where she studied sociology and
> psychology and worked as a freelance political correspondent in
> Paris. Her commitment to the women's movement began in 1970, firstly
> in France, later in Germany. Her campaign in favour of abortion
> rights proved to be a catalyst for the new women's movement in the
> Federal Republic of Germany. From 1971, Alice Schwarzer made a name
> for herself through the publication of numerous highly publicised
> and controversial bestsellers as well as through various television
> appearances. Between 1974 and 1975 she taught sociology at the
> University of Muenster. In 1977 she founded the publishing house Emma
> and the magazine of the same name which today is the last
> independent feminist magazine with a worldwide bi-monthly circulation
> of 100,000 copies.
