Berlin, city of Bertolt Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, cabaret and
German Expressionism, a city identified with a female sexuality -
at first alluring but then dangerous. In this fascinating study,
Dorothy Rowe turns our attention to Berlin as a sexual landscape.
She investigates the processes by which women and femininity played
a prominent role in depictions of the city at the end of the
nineteenth and into the early twentieth centuries. She explores how
in the aftermath of the horrors of World War I, increasing
anxieties about the liberation of women and the supposed increase
of female prostitution contributed to the demonization of the city
not as a focus of desire and pleasure but rather as one of
alienation and anxiety.
