In 1923, Freundinnen - A novel among women (Hanover: Paul Steegemann) was created. In 1928 the novel appeared in the ten thousand. The book has a lesbian relationship on the subject and empathetically describes the lives of the two protagonists. With this work, Ackers offers an insight into the lesbian subculture of the 1920s.
