Edith Cadivec (1880 - ?) was an Austrian teacher and notorious sex criminal arrested, tried and convicted in 1924 on the charge of sexually abusing eight underage girls under her care - plus her own daughter. After a three day trial, in the Viennese Court, she was sentenced to six years in jail but was set free in December 1925, after showing signs of mental instability. Two books she wrote on her experiences entitled Confessions and Experiences and Eros, the Meaning of My Life (published together 1930-1) are regarded as, somewhat deranged, classics of erotic literature and achieved a wide sale and were translated into many languages. In them the authoress portrays herself as unable to control the sexual thrill she obtained, when flogging, in the interests of discipline, the minors under her charge, and being a victim of her own lust - though outside observers have been less charitable about her motives. When arrested she was found in possession of a large collection of birches, whips, canes and erotic pictures. One of the whips had a silver knob on which was engraved "Domininatrix". Also revealed were compromising letters to a painter in Innsbruck which enlarged on her interests in erotic sadism. The testimony of the trial indicates that Cadivec not only flogged the children under her care, but also indulged in sex acts with them and invited paying guests to watch.
