Today, he's been largely forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJournalist Daniel Brook retraces Hirschfeld's rollicking life and reinvigorates his legacy, recovering one of the great visionaries of the twentieth century. In an era when gay sex was a crime and gender roles rigid, Hirschfeld taught that each of us is their own unique mixture of masculinity and femininity. Through his public advocacy for gay rights and his private counseling of patients toward self-acceptance, he became the intellectual impresario of Berlin's cabaret scene and helped turn his hometown into the world's queer capital. But he also enraged the Nazis, who ransacked his Institute for Sexual Science and burned his books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriven from his homeland, Hirschfeld travelled to America, Asia, and the Middle East to research sexuality on a global scale. Through his harrowing lived experience of antisemitic persecution and a pivotal late-in-life interracial romance, he came to see that race, like gender, was a human invention. Hirschfeld spent his final years in exile trying to warn the world of the genocidal dangers of racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRich in passion and intellect, \u003cem\u003eThe Einstein of Sex\u003c\/em\u003e at last brings together this unsung icon's work on sexuality, gender, and race and recovers the visionary who first saw beyond the binaries. A century after his groundbreaking work—as the fights for personal freedom and societal acceptance rage on—Hirschfeld's gift for thinking beyond the confines of his world has much to teach us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855862288620,"sku":"9781324007241","price":62.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11f7a856b15866eb73a961459eb61896.jpg?v=1759284273"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/daniel-brook.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
