Cultural Influences
- In 1904, 'Eckstein had published a small book on the sexual education of children', although in it 'she does not mention Freud'. A few years later, however, in his open letter on "The Sexual Enlightenment of Children", Freud refers to her book approvingly, highlighting 'the charming letter of explanation which a certain Frau Emma Eckstein quotes as having been written by her to her son when he was about ten years old'.
- Eckstein appears as a character in Joseph Skibell's 2010 novel, A Curable Romantic.
- The song "Emma Eckstein's Nose Job" was released as a single in 2010 by Danish musician Anders Thode.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influences:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Whoever influences the child’s life ought to try to give him a positive view of himself and of his world. The child’s future happiness and his ability to cope with life and relate to others will depend on it.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
