In the 1980s, she became an icon of the peace and environmental movements, driving protests against nuclear power and nuclear missiles and demanding a radical societal transformation: a non-aligned world without weapons, peace with nature. Politically socialized in the USA, shaped by Vietnam War protests, the Civil Rights Movement, and civil disobedience, she was elected to the Bundestag for the Green Party in 1983.
