A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank the UCLA Graduate Division and Department of History for tremendous support in the early days of this project. Travel grants from the UCLA Center for the Study of Women, the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies, and the Berkeley Center for European Studies enabled me to make many trips to central Europe. A Creighton University Faculty Research Fellowship and a Paul Klemperer Fellowship from the New York Academy of Medicine helped me track down several medical sources once back in the United States. I am indebted to the Fulbright Commission of Austria for accepting and supporting my academic interests while in Vienna. Finally, I am grateful to several publishers for allowing me to publish substantially revised and updated versions of research that has appeared elsewhere. Parts of first appeared in two publications: Sharing Sexual Knowledge: A Cultural History of Sex Education in Twentieth Century Europe and North America (London: Routledge, 2009) and Sexualitt, Unterschichtenmilieus und ArbeiterInnenbewegung (Leipzig: Akademische Verlagsanstalt, 2003).

In Austria, I wish to thank the unflagging and suspiciously cheerful staff at the National Bibliothek, who never limited my requests nor blinked at their titles. I am also very grateful to the staffs at the Archive der sterreichischen Arbeiterbewegung, the Gesellschaft der rzte in Wien, and the Stadt- und Landesarchiv for the city of Vienna. I also enjoyed the encouragement of Viennese scholars and feminists Sandra Eder, Maria Mesner, Sonja Niederacher, Karin Riegler, and Annemarie Steidl. Most of all, I wish to thank Gundi Herold, who led me into the Wienerwald every week for constitutionals, language lessons, and loving moral support during my times in Vienna.

In the United States, I am particularly grateful to the members of my dissertation committee and the regular attendees of the UCLA European History Colloquium. I cannot overemphasize my intellectual and human debt to David Sabean; he has been a true
