The German artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a printmaker who used her art to advocate against social injustice, war, and inhumanity. Her name is among those taken by the feminist activist artists known as Guerrilla Girls to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in politics, the arts, and pop culture.
