  • 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:

    To recover the fatherhood idea, we must fashion a new cultural story of fatherhood. The moral of today’s story is that fatherhood is superfluous. The moral of the new story must be that fatherhood is essential.
    David Blankenhorn (20th century)

    Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.
    Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
