1914 book by Magnus Hirschfeld From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Die Homosexualität des Mannes und des Weibes is a classic 1914 book on homosexuality in men and women that was written by German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld.[1][2] A second edition was published in 1920.[3] Hirschfeld was himself gay and an occasional crossdresser, known by other Berlin crossdressers as "Aunt Magnesia".[4][5] The book was part of the series Handbuch der Gesamten Sexualwissenschaft in Einzeldarstellungen and was the third volume of this series.[2] Die Homosexualität des Mannes und des Weibes was not translated until 2000, under the title The Homosexuality of Men and Women by Michael Lombardi-Nash.[1][6] It has been said that the book was the most significant and authoritative text on homosexuality of its time.[1] The book has often been overlooked in the English-speaking academia.[1]
