- Description
- The author takes a look at the crisis of gender in Weimar Germany through an analysis of selected cultural texts, both literary and film, characterized under the label 'New Objectivity'. The New objectivity was marked by a sober unsentimental embrace of urban modernity, in contrast to Expressionism's horror of technology and belief in auratic art. New Objectivity was best symbolized by the New Woman they feared and desired.

- Description
- First published in 2007. First paperback edition published in 2011. Abortion in the Weimar Republic (1918/1919-1933) is a compelling subject since it provoked public debates and campaigns of an intensity rarely matched elsewhere. It proved so explosive because populationist, ecclesiastical and political concerns were heightened by cultural anxieties of a modernity in crisis. Based on an rich source material (e.g., criminal court cases, doctors' case books, personal diaries, feature films, plays and literary works), this study explores different attitudes and experiences of those women who sought to terminate an unwanted pregnancy and those who helped or hindered them. It analyzes the dichotomy between medical theory and practice, and questions common assumptions, i.e. that abortion was 'a necessary evil,' which needed strict regulation and medical control: or that all back-street abortions were dangerous and bad. Above all, the book reveals women's own voices, frequently contradictory and ambiguous: having internalized medical ideas they often also adhered to older notions of reproduction which opposed scientific approaches.

- Description
- This book focuses on the voices and experiences of prostitutes working in the German sex trade in the first half of the twentieth century. The author shows a picture of the prostitutes' backgrounds, their reasons for entering the trade, and their attitudes towards their work. Public responses to the issue of prostitution are revealed through the motivations of the law enforcement agencies, social workers, and doctors who increasingly attempted to manage and contain prostitutes' movements and behaviour and to scientifically categorize them as a group. Prostitution can help recast the understanding of sexuality and ethics, teaching about how German society defined itself through its definition of who did not belong within it. In addition, common conceptions of the relationship between the type of government in power and official attitudes towards sexuality are challenged. For, as Harris shows, the prevalent desire to control citizens' sexuality transcended traditional left-right divides throughout this period and intensified with economic and political modernization, producing surprising continuities across the Wilhelmine, Weimar, and Nazi eras.

- Description
- In this publication, the author restores the work of female sexologists to the forefront of the history of sexology. While male researchers who led the practice of early-twentieth-century sexology viewed women and their sexuality as objects to be studied, not as collaborators in scientific investigation, she pinpoints nine German and Austrian ‘women sexologists’ and ‘female sexual theorists’ to reveal how sex, gender, and sexuality influenced the field of sexology itself.

- Description
- This volume is a collection of contributions centered around three main themes. The first part, brings together first-hand accounts from women’s lives as they face the horrors of war, drawn mainly from original sources such as diaries, letters, memoirs and writings. The second explores the lives and thought of several women activists who challenged inequalities and sought to create new opportunities for women, contributing to the definition of a transnational culture of peace. The final section examines the work of a group of women who saw the outbreak of the First World War and the emergence of an international women’s movement for peace as an opportunity to act for their personal emancipation, and, in some cases, for a different idea of politics. The volume provides a selection of contributions from little-known European contexts such as Italy, Poland, and Austria. The presence and contribution of African-American women, which has been neglected in the history of women’s pacifism, is also explored. Particular attention is given to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and to the International Congress of Women, held in The Hague in 1915.
