A diary-shaped view of women’s lives in early-twentieth-century Germany
Emmy Hennings’s *Branded: A Diary* brings a neglected German work into English translation. Its subject is the experiences of actresses and sex workers in early-twentieth-century Germany, placing women’s working lives and social circumstances at the center. The brief source description does not outline particular episodes, so the book is best approached as a historically situated literary work rather than as a detailed account of its plot.
