Delighted to have received my author copy of Weimar weiblich, Filmpionierinnen des Kinos der Moderne (1918-1933) this week! I co-authored the biography on Ossi Oswalda with the wonderful Mary Hennessy!

Do you teach/research gender/sexuality w/ German sources? Have you had access issues or needed to translate sources yourself bc English versions don’t exist? Fill in this survey (by 2/15) to identify core texts for an anthology of translations in scientific & literary sexology between 1890 & 1930.

Thrilled to share that I’ve signed a book contract for my monograph to appear with Camden House in their Screen Cultures: German Film and the Visual series! Disclaimer - this is what AI thinks the cover will look like. I’ve got to finish it before I can find out how close it is to the reality!
