I'm not entirely sure how to incorporate the following, but of interest to anyone seeking to flesh out this wiki page or learn more:
Obituary: https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83035337/1911-10-07/ed-1/seq-7/ocr/
- "They will not fail to tell their offspring that she is a brave, just- thinking and capable comrade, the workers' movement and in particular the liberation movement in Johanna, and with what noble fire of enthusiasm she tried, as long as her health allowed it , to plant a grain of the Soialist seed in the hearts of those who are still uncomprehending towards the Soeialist life .' Like many an igniting portrait, the one who died has remained in our midst. Especially since in January 1900, also at their almost sole instigation, the soc. couples' associations were brought into being and with their help Branch 13 was founded, which was later followed by 6rod other branches in North and South Philadelphia." [the machine translation is clearly flawed, but may be promising to look into 'Branch 13' - and was she living in Philly at this time?]
I also can't seem to find a good original source for her writings. Her publications in Der Sozialist in "early 1888" look to be paywalled at the moment but are described by Mari Jo Buhle in "Women and American Socialism, 1870-1920" as "the first (and for many years the only) major political treatise on women's organization from within the German-American Socialist movement. Greie put the subject into stark perspective. The necessity for women's organization, she wrote, had become urgent with the rise of modern industrial society. Women could no longer fulfill their traditional responsibilities at the family hearth; nor could they resist degradation caused by worsening economic conditions. Thus women's exclusion from the ranks of revolutionary proletarian fighters not only endangered the entire struggle for Socialism but jeopardized their own positions as well. 'If human activity is not to be a sisyphean labor,' she wrote, 'woman should and must take her place in human society,' a new place to be carved out by her own actions as well as the cooperation of progressive men. [...] She clearly aimed at something which German-American Socialists had not yet created, and which could not be created by even the best-intended men: a fighting, united women's movement for Socialism and for their own emancipation." - would be nice to get the original text.
