Alice Schwarzer was born as an illegitimate child and raised by her grandparents. According to family law in Germany at the time, the parental rights to a illegitimate child had to be attributed to a man, which in the case of Schwarzer took on her grandfather, Ernst Schwarzer. In one interview Schwarzer described him as a "very maternal grandfather". After being educated as a secretary, Alice Schwarzer moved to Paris in 1963 where she began her studies in a language study. Then, after returning to Germany, she worked as a journalist in the years 1963-1969 and then returned to Paris. Schwarzer came from an atheistic family. At his own will, at the age of twelve he was baptized, and then communion. She is referred to as "rather unbelieving".
From 1970 to 1974 she worked as a free correspondent of various media in Paris while studying psychology and sociology, including Michel Foucault. Together with Monique Wittig she was the initiator of the Mouvement de Libération des femmes, MLF, and later transferred his ideas to Germany. Authoritative control (person):
