I found it very difficult to access books on the woman. Had to order them from England.
I don't have the link to the web-site which contains her pamphlets, prison diaries etc.
But she is well worth the read and study. Like a lot of women ,her importance is simply written out of history. Check out RB Kitaj's paintings of her assasination and some books are:

Mandel, Ernest "Rosa luxemburg and German Social Democracy" Revolutionary
Marxism and social reality in the Twentieth Century. edited by Steve Bloom.
Amherst NY: Humanity Books 1995.
Nye , Andrea. Philosophia: The Thought of Rosa Luxemburg, Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt. NY , Routledge.1994.

Rosa Luxemburg: Reflections and Writings, ed Paul le Blanc. 1999, Humanity Books.

Theres a direct link to the Rosa Luxemburg Archive at the url below.

"Freedom only for the supporters of the government, only for the members of one party -- however numerous they may be -- is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of 'justice' but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when 'freedom' becomes a special privilege."
