JS 211gw Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Claudia Koonz, Nazi Propaganda
Document Summary
The nazis viewed politics as something for men. Feminism does not seek to challenge nazism. Women were not suppose to take any roll in public life. Jewish intellectualism (this meant feminism) but they should focus on the duties women should be having children for the reich most important duty. She said that the nazis were sexist. Things the nazis did: imposed quotas on universities women could only make up. 10% of the student body: some were forced to work in homes as housemaids, married women were not permitted to work they were taking jobs away from men, they also bred people to make perfect children. Perfect women with ss men: awards were given to mothers that had a bunch of babies. She says that women were not simply victims. By 1930 women voted for the nazis equal to men. Why would women vote for a party that was going to cut their roles in public life.
