Originally from the provinces and the daughter of a clergyman, she moved to Copenhagen to pursue her education at the Royal Art Academy, and married fellow artist Einar Wegener (1882-1931) in 1904. After moving to Paris in 1912, she found much success both as a painter and illustrating for Vogue, La Vie Parisienne, Fantasio, and many other magazines. As she found fame in Paris, Gerda also developed a following in her home country. She held exhibitions at Ole Haslunds gallery in Copenhagen at regular intervals. Her career relied on a phenomenal talent but perhaps even more so on her notorious diligence, and the advantages her unusual marriage brought her.

Einar Wegener, who by many at the time was considered a more talented artist, toned down his own work and profile to help his wife in her artistic endeavors. In a female guise, "Lili", he became Gerda's favorite model. Einar Wegener eventually came out as a transsexual woman, and had the first publicly known sex reassignment surgery, in 1930, taking the name Lili Elbe. Gerda Wegener supported Elbe throughout her transition. The king of Denmark declared the Wegeners' marriage null and void in October 1930.

A picture book about group sex, but not in the usual sense of the word. The participants are not porno models, but people who seek to expand their life experience, who let group sex enter into their attempt to create a relaxed, free and happy relationship between people, in contrast to the traditionally tense social patterns.

Chicago, Illinois, June 22, 1957

Dear John,

Although I can't write a good letter, this is a note to let you know I'm your little twelve year old spanking girl.

This is what happens: When I have been naughty and am to be spanked, I am to get undressed, put on stockings and high-heeled shoes. If I have been very naughty, you will use that big ruler; not real naughty, the strap (we no longer have a small ruler); just a little naughty, your hand. You will administer ten whacks on each cheek of my hynie.

After you have finished, I am to put my arms around you, kiss you and tell you I love you. I am to show you my pussy, ask you if you don't think it's pretty, and tell you it's all yours.

Some note, huh?

Love,
Cora

Please throw this away.

P.S. I forgot to say: You put me over your knees, and you spank!
