"I met Reich through a Socialist friend of mine who was his laboratory assistant, whom I had met in Paris through our contact with the Socialist student, and met Reich through her, September, October '39. I kept on working with Reich fourteen years. I could do a little bit of everything. I could do lab work, administration, the household. I was downstairs, he was upstairs, and I worked in the lab, of course under his direction, but very much on my own, later on. So that worked out alright. In fact, it worked very well, and of course I could…it worked well with the child, too, because the child was in the house. I felt always I was very lucky because I did not have to give up working to be a mother, you see. And Reich tried to spend some time with the child. And he did. They were very close, very close."
