Moebius won a still dubious fame by his pamphlet "On the Physiological Idiocy of Women" (Halle: Marhold 1900). He received the greatest contemporary recognition for carving out his own territory with this work. The key message of the work not only postulated that "idiocy of woman", but also tried to impose this on already dubious methods. Moebius received plaudits for this piece, but also criticism, such as "The Anti-feminists" (1902) by Hedwig Dohm (1831-1919). In further response to Moebius were written such as "Women and Intellectualism" by Oda Olberg in 1903 and "Feminism and Science" by Johanna Elberskirchen in 1902. Elberskirchen said: "The truth is that when scholars make opinions concerning females, they are too much man ("Mann") and too little or not at all scientifically reasoning human ("Mensch")." (Elberskirchen 1902 p. 4) In other writings (such as "Sex and Head Size") Moebius tried to support his theses but his comments actually showed his misunderstanding of brain anatomy and brain physiology. "On the Physiological Idiocy of Women" went through eight editions during his lifetime. In the later editions Moebius published letters from women and men which he had received for and against the book. These letters accounted for almost half of the book at the end.
