- 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
- While living in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century, expatriate American writers Edith Warton (1862-1937) and Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) never crossed paths. They did rub shoulders in print, in autobiographical essays published by the Atlantic Monthly in 1933. Out of these essays grew the book-length autobiographies, 'A backward glance' (Wharton 1934) and 'The autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' (Stein 1933). By analyzing the personal and cultural contexts in wich these works were produced, as well as subjects common to both authors, Sloboda reveals the connections.

- 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
- In 'Mariage à la mode' Kathie Roiphe studies a certain type of progressive marriage, occurring in literary circles in England, in the period from roughly 1910 to the beginning of the second World War. She is interested in different aspects of the marriages, one of which is the difference between the ideas on love and marriage, and real life. Roiphe thought it remarkable that, in spite of the most progressive, forward-thinking intentions of the couples in the book, it is astonishing what a stubborn hold the most archaic ideas of marriage had on their imaginations. The couples portrait are: H.G. and Jane Wells: Katherine Mansfield & John Middleton Murry: Elizabeth von Arnim & John Francis Russel: Vanessa & Clive Bell: Ottoline & Philip Morrell: Radclyffe Hall & Una Troubridge: Vera Brittain & George Gordon Catlin.

- 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
- 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.
