List E. Mutterliebe und Geburtenkontrolle — Zwischen Psychoanalyse und Sozialismus. Die Geschichte der Margarethe Hilferding-Hönigsberg [Mother love and birth control — Between psychoanalysis and socialism. The story of Margarethe Hilferding-Hönigsberg]. Vienna:  Mandelbaum Verlag, 2006.

Although Hilferding's son, upon his return to Vienna in the fall of 1945, found only a piece of baggage and a letter written by his mother three months before her death, in the concentration camp of Treblinka (on September 24, 1942), Eveline List succeeds in putting together such a wealth of information on the first woman psychoanalyst that she brings her back to life for us.

There were three basic issues around which centred the life of the daughter of the Jewish medical doctor Paul Hönibsberg and his wife Emma Breuer , themselves intellectually and socially enlightened parents.
