Frank Wedekind's plays and books shocked the world when they came out. An early proponent of sex education, Wedekind felt that by not discussing the subject, society was causing more problems for itself. In Mine Ha-ha, Wedekind examines the life of a girl on the cusp of womanhood at a strange academy that seems more interested in physical education than anything else. The book has been made into a movie twice and reportedly was the inspiration for Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA. This is modern translation by Jim Morton. He also includes a short biography of Wedekind.
