- Description
- By the 1920s, women were on the verge of something huge. Jazz, racy fashions, new attitudes about art and sex—all of this pointed to a modern world, one that could shake off the grimness of the Great War and stride into the future. The women who defined this the Jazz Age—Josephine Baker, Tallulah Bankhead, Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Tamara de Lempicka—would presage the sexual revolution by nearly half a century and would shape the role of women for generations to come. The women came from vastly different backgrounds, but all ended up passing through Paris, the mecca of the avant-garde. But beneath the flamboyance and excess of the Roaring Twenties lay age-old prejudices about gender, race, and sexuality.

- Description
- The home of the world’s first gay rights movement, the Weimar republic embodied a progressive, secular vision of sexual liberation. But those sexual freedoms were only obtained at the expense of a minority who were deemed sexually disordered. In Weimar Germany, the citizen’s right to sexual freedom came with a duty to keep sexuality private, non-commercial, and respectable. This book examines the rise of sexual tolerance through the debates which surrounded “immoral” sexuality: obscenity, male homosexuality, lesbianism, transgender identity, heterosexual promiscuity, and prostitution. It follows the sexual politics of a swath of Weimar society ranging from sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld to Nazi stormtrooper Ernst Röhm.

- Description
- Vienna's intellectual, political, and religious traditions had a powerful impact on the transformation of sexual knowledge in the early twentieth century. Whereas turn-of-the-century sexology, as practiced in Vienna as a medical science, sought to classify and heal individuals, during the interwar years, sexual knowledge was employed by a variety of actors to heal the social body: the impoverished population of the newly created Republic of Austria. This book charts cultural changes that are hallmarks of the modern era, such as the rise of the companionate marriage, the role of expert advice in intimate matters, and the body as a source of pleasure and anxiety. These changes are evidence of a dramatic shift in attitudes from a form of scientific inquiry largely practiced by medical specialists to a social reform movement led by and intended for a wider audience that included workers, women, and children.

- 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.
