Abstract

Every history has a prehistory. Rainer Herrn has produced an accomplished work that records and traces the early history of transgendered people in Berlin during the first third of the twentieth century. This history is particularly connected to the name Magnus Hirschfeld, who, till now, has been primarily perceived as a pioneering campaigner for the decriminalization of homosexuality. The author could not have found a more appropriate title for his book than Patterns of Gender (Schnittmuster des Geschlechts).
