The article features German-Jewish physician Magnus Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld was the first to outline a non-Eurocentric, anti-colonialist critique of culture from a sexological perspective in his book Weltreise eines Sexualforschers. On November 15, 1930 Hirschfeld set out for the U.S. where he had planned a lecturing tour. Acknowledged at the time as one of the most eminent theorists in the history of sexology, he was saluted upon his arrival as "Doctor Einstein of Sex."
