"The Magnum Opus of Magnus Hirschfeld"
Review of The Homosexuality of Men and Women
The Gay & Lesbian Review / Worldwide
...we owe a debt of gratitude for [this translation]...This volume also contains a new introduction by the venerable...Vern Bullough. Nothing in gay literature is quite like [it]...Hirschfeld makes [mistakes, but] the chapter on "Homosexuality in Classical Antiquity" is superb; "The Legal and Social Victimization, Persecution, and Prosecution of Homosexual Men and Women" is [an] excellent chapter; a chapter on the victimization of homosexuals by blackmailers and con artists is definitive. --November-December, 2002.
