I Am My Own Wife: The True Story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf by Charlotte von Mahlsdorf

4.0

This was a fascinating and unusual autobiography. The blurb describes it as being about "[the author's] lifelong pursuit of sexual liberty", but it's really more about her pursuit of her passions for furniture, architecture, and history, and what she had to go through to be able to focus on what she loves.
