It delves into the sexual reform and women's rights movements in Weimar Germany, highlighting the interplay between scientific advancements in human sexuality and social struggles. Authored by a physician who actively participated in these movements and faced persecution, the narrative is enriched with personal anecdotes and insights, particularly regarding Wilhelm Reich's contributions to understanding healthy sexuality versus neurotic expressions.
