Description
Fanny Moser's scientific career—which was anything but self-evident for women at the beginning of the 20th century—unites seemingly contradictory fields of research: biology and occultism, jellyfish and haunting, science and séance. Initially a recognised doctor of zoology, she devoted the second half of her life exclusively to the study of occult phenomena, especially haunting, and regarded parapsychology as the ‘science of the future’. This collection of essays traces the unconventional biography of this female researcher and pays tribute to the multifaceted life and legacy of the first female donor to the Freiburg Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health.

Reviews
»Schmied-Knittel schafft es, in ihrem Beitrag nicht nur Mosers private und wissenschaftliche Leistungen lebendig darzustellen, sie bringt darüber hinaus zentrale Ereignisse aus Mosers Leben mit historischen Ereignissen in Verbindung, allen voran die sich verändernden Geschlechterverhältnisse beim Wechsel vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.«
