... that the lesbian German writer Christa Reinig stated in a poem, "Sometimes the gay shirt is closer to me than the feminist skirt"?

Nice hook, citations check out, article checks out, no copyright violation although the wording in places could be arguably more different (I suggest a thorough copyedit for this purpose). - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]} 17:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I have now reviewed Anne Fogarty for the quid pro quo. I'll go ahead and move this one into the special holding section for International Women's Day. I'm sorry you found overly close wording - please feel free to tweak it; I presume you mean in translations, since almost all the sources for this article are in German.

Yes, I was appreciative of the fact that it is sometimes very difficult to get away from the wording, but I do think the article would benefit from a copyedit anyway, which I shall leave to a more experienced editor. Review now done, so good to go :) - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]} 00:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Several users have copy-edited. The article is sourced mainly by obituaries. The chronology of events is kept - which seems natural - but the wording is free and based on different sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
