About Johanna Elberskirchen
- Johanna Elberskirchen (11 April 1864 in Bonn – 17 May 1943 in Rüdersdorf) was a feminist writer and activist for the rights of women, gays and lesbians as well as blue-collar workers.
- She published books on women's sexuality and health among other topics.
- Her last known public appearance was in 1930 in Vienna, where she gave a talk at a conference organised by the World League for Sexual Reform.
- She was open about her own homosexuality which made her a somewhat exceptional figure in the feminist movement of her time.
- Her career as an activist was ended in 1933, when the Nazi Party rose to power.
- There is no public record of a funeral but witnesses report that Elberskirchen's urn was secretly put into Hildegard Moniac's grave, who had been her life partner.
