| The
Homosexuality of Men and Women by Magnus Hirschfeld,
Michael A. Lombardi-Nash (Translator), Vern L. Bullough
(Introduction)
One of the founders of the scientific study of
sex, Magnus Hirschfeld, M.D. (1868-1935), led the field in
objective examinations of homosexuality, transvestism, and gender
identity. The Homosexuality of Men and Women was designed
to provide a unified, comprehensive description of homosexuality
which would rid heterosexuals of homophobic prejudice and allow
gays and lesbians to accept themselves and stop feeling isolated.
This encyclopedic study opens with a definition
and a detailed biological diagnosis of orientation, including the
childhood and adolescent phases. Hirschfeld addresses the
physical, mental, and emotional life, while explaining the
differences between friendship and same-sex love; genuine and
false homosexuality; and the inborn nature of homosexuality and
bisexuality. He also disputes the theory that homosexuality is
treatable.
In the second half of the book, Hirschfeld looks
at sociology: community life, bonding, roles in society, history,
persecution, victimization, and the law. His documentation of gays
in the military and the "new technology" of his day-such
as the telephone and airplanes and their affect on the lives of
homosexuals-offers farsighted observations that strongly parallel
today's national debates and new developments.
The translator of this lengthy work, originally
in German, is Michael A. Lombardi-Nash, Ph.D. He is also the
translator of Transvestites
: The Erotic Drive to Cross-Dress, and The
Riddle of 'Man-Manly' Love : The Pioneering Work on Male
Homosexuality.
