This book analyses how the Weimar Republic put Germany in the
forefront of social reform and women's emancipation with
wide-ranging maternal welfare programmes and labour protection
laws. Its enlightened policy of family planning and liberalised
abortion laws offered women a new measure of control over their
lives. But the new politics of the body also increased state
intervention, the power of the medical profession and the tendency
to sacrifice women's rights to national interests whenever the Volk
seemed in danger of 'racial decline'.
