    As an AI language model, I do not have a personal opinion or feeling. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English:

    Photography: Getty If the Parker Brothers had not been sued in 1973, the true inventor of the monopoly might never have been revealed. Initially, it was said that the creator of the game was Charles Darrow, a man who sold the game to the Magie brothers in 1935. The true inventor behind Monopoly was Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie, a woman with almost no past, who sold her patent to Parker Brothers for only $500 over 80 years ago. Magie was born and raised in Malcolm, Illinois, and was a game designer, stenographer, short story and poetry writer, comedian, actress, engineer, and newspaper reporter. It is an understatement to say that she did all of this. In 1904, Maggie did the most fulfilling thing by creating The Landlords Game, which was designed to teach others about Henry Georges single tax theory in a fun and simple way. This game would eventually become the basis for the game we know and love, Monopoly.

    Creating the landlords game was not Magies only claim to fame – as an outspoken feminist, she found it difficult to support herself and promoted her professional ethics (literally) with “rare and versatile dramatic ability; a born actress; strong Bohemian tendencies, can appreciate a good story, and at the same time is profound and genuine in religion – not devout.” This ad received national attention, and soon everyone in the country knew that Elizabeth Magie was an outspoken feminist, which also led to her work as a journalist.

    Magie did not seek fame or fortune for her game, although we are sure it would have been nice – when she sold the patent to Parker Brothers, all she hoped was that the game would do what she had always done and teach others about the single tax theory so that her work would not be in vain – sadly, this was not the case. Magie was forgotten, and Darrow and the Parker Brothers became the masterminds behind Monopoly and the game of landlord. Fortunately, in 1973, the fatal court case in which Ralph Anspach was sued by Parker Brothers for creating anti-monopoly exposed the truth behind the monopoly and ensured that Magies name was known – her story has been spreading ever since. Thanks to Anspach, more
