# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Clara Eißner in 1857, she built her early political life inside the Social Democratic Party of Germany, where she developed her ideas on women's rights within a Marxist framework. The rupture came in 1917: she broke with the Social Democrats, joined the Independent Social Democratic Party, and moved further left into the Spartacist League, which reorganized as the Communist Party of Germany. From 1920 to 1933 she held a seat in the Reichstag as a KPD representative, carrying her convictions through the entire span of the Weimar Republic. She died in June 1933, months after the republic fell.
