This book was originally released in Austria in 1906 under the title Josefine Mutzenbacher - Die Lebensgeschichte Einer Wienerischen Dime, Von Ihr Selbst Erzält (Translation: Josefine Mutzenbacher - The Life Story of a Viennese Whore, As Told By Herself). No one knows the true history of this story. When it first appeared, it was published anonymously. It's unknown whether it is a work of fiction or nonfiction. If it is a work of nonfiction, the titular Josefine Mutzenbacher is most likely a pseudonym. If a work of fiction, several authors have variously been labeled as being the author. Today, the main person that critics, scholars, and even the Austrian Government claim is the original author, is Felix Salten, the author best known for the children's book, Bambi, A Life In The Woods, the book that later went on to be turned into a popular animated film. The work, an erotic fiction classic, spawned many laws in its native Austria and Germany, and famously asking the question, "Is Erotica Art?" The story itself follows Ms. Mutzenbacher and her sexual awakening in the late 1800s while living in Austria.
