This book concentrates on the role of German girls in Hitler's Third Reich. We learn of their home lives, schooling, exploitation and eventual militarization from firsthand accounts of women who were indoctrinated into the Jungmädelbund and Bund Deutscher Mädel as young girls. From the beginnings of 1933 to the defeat of 1945, this book examines their specific roles as defined by the Nazi state.
This book is a survey of women in the Weimar Republic, exploring the diversity and multiplicity of women's experiences in the economy, politics and society. Taking the First World War as a starting point, this book explores the great changes in the lives, expectations, and perceptions of German women, with new opportunities in employment, education and political life and greater freedoms in their private and social life, all played out in the media spotlight.
