==Life==
Marion was born in Westphalia, Germany in 1871. Her mother and brother both died during childbirth, leaving Marion with her father. Her father (unknown name) abused Marion. When Marion was 15 - she was sent by her father to live with her aunt in England. After moving to England, she became an actress and took the name Kitty Marion. Marion joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1908. She became a prominent activist in the women's suffrage movement and often engaged in protests, which sometimes turned violent. Marion was known as an arsonist. Marion was arrested numerous times in England for her activism.〔(John Simkin, "Marion Kitty" ) at Spartacus Educational.〕
After World War I, Marion migrated to the United States. In America she worked with Margaret Sanger in publishing the ''Birth Control Review''. Kitty Marion sold the ''Review'' at 20 cents per copy in Times Square, Grand Central Station, and Coney Island. Standing on street corners, Marion endured heckling, death threats, physical abuse, and police harassment. Over the course of ten years, Marion was arrested nine times for her birth control advocacy.〔Engelman, pp 99–101.〕 In 1921, Marion joined Sanger in establishing America's first birth-control clinic. However, the clinic in Brooklyn was closed by the police.
She died in New York City in 1944.
