This fascinating book examines the position of women under the
Nazis. The National Socialist movement was essentially
male-dominated, with a fixed conception of the role women should
play in society; while man was the warrior and breadwinner, woman
was to be the homemaker and childbearer. The Nazi obsession with
questions of race led to their insisting that women should be
encouraged by every means to bear children for Germany, since
Germany's declining birth rate in the 1920s was in stark contrast
with the prolific rates among the 'inferior' peoples of eastern
Europe, who were seen by the Nazis as Germany's foes. Thus, women
were to be relieved of the need to enter paid employment after
marriage, while higher education, which could lead to ambitions for
a professional career, was to be closed to girls, or, at best,
available to an exceptional few. All Nazi policies concerning women
ultimately stemmed from the Party's view that the German birth rate
must be dramatically raised.
