"A pleasure to read. Diethe corrects the superficiality that has characterized prior treatment of Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, offering a nuanced explanation of her perspective and motivations."--Kathleen Higgins, author of Comic Relief, Nietzsche's Gay Science "Diethe does a remarkably even-handed and often insightful job of not only conveying the damage done by Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, but her personality as well. Her understanding of Nietzsche is obviously profound."--Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences"Carol Diethe's pleasantly written biography is a valuable contribution for all interested in Nietzsche studies."--Alexandre Kostka, Université Cergy-Pontoise and Centre Marc Bloch, Berlin
