Maria Janitschek - Die neue Eva (The New Eve)

In 1902 Janitschek's novella volume Die neue Eva (banned in 1909) appeared, "seven stories written deep out of the experience of becoming a woman and a woman's desires. [...] Psychology and physiology have hardly ever been as closely connected as in this novella. Fervour and truth, a fine feeling for the most secret stirrings in Eva's nature, a happy hand in portraying the unveiled – the reader will find all this and much more [...]."
