Annual of Sexual Intermediaries Volume XII (1911/12)

A landmark chronicle of early 20th-century sexual reform, this volume gathers four quarterly reports that illuminate the legal, cultural and scientific discourse surrounding homosexuality worldwide. From fierce critiques of Germany's infamous Paragraph 175 to pioneering essays on age of consent, transvestism and moral history, the collection offers rare insight into the lives and struggles of sexual minorities.

Featuring firsthand accounts of blackmail, suicide and social persecution, alongside literary profiles-from Xavier Mayne to Herman Bang-and exhaustive bibliographies compiled by Dr. Numa Praetorius, this edition is a vital resource for historians, legal scholars and advocates of human rights. With contributions from Magnus Hirschfeld, I. Leo Pavia, and other leading voices of the Scientific Humanitarian Committee, this volume stands as a testament to courage, inquiry and the enduring fight for dignity.
