The Nazi's were implacably opposed to feminism and women's
independence. Rosa Luxemburg became a symbol of all that most
horrified them in German society, in particular because of her
involvement in active politics. Nazi ideology saw women in the
activist role of 'wives, mothers and home-makers', and their task
was to support their fighting menfolk by providing food and making
and mending uniforms and flags. The miscellany of women's
organisations was dissolved and reunified by Gregor Strasser in
1931, and in 1934 Gertrud Scholtz-Klink became an overall leader of
the Nazi Women's Group, after which it functioned primarily as a
propaganda channel. Part of the policy of Gleichschaltung
(co-ordination) meant that even to join a sewing group, women had
to choose the party group or nothing. This book provides a detailed
and fascinating picture of the origins, development and functions
of the specifically women's organisations associated with the NSDAP
from their beginnings in the early 1920s, until their demise in
1945. It traces the history of the Nazi Women's Group, the sources
of its members and analyses their ambitions and hopes from the
Frauenwerk. Its purpose is above all to make an important
contribution to the study of National Socialism as a movement which
attracted and held the enthusiasm of a small minority of Germans
who, given the chance from 1933, attempted to impose their will on
the majority.
