Trade Review
"This is a well-written work of exhaustive scholarship. Heineman approaches her topic from multiple perspectives and thus offers a very interesting methodological take on the subject. She has a great story to tell, one that will be read by a broad public interested not only in modern Germany but also in the history of sexuality, consumer culture, and the ways societies negotiate moral standards." (Robert G. Moeller, University of California, Irvine)"
