explain what role women had in nazism
Answers
Answer:
Nazi views on the role of the family
Hitler promoted the importance of a stable, traditional family. Men were to be in charge and protect their family. Women were to serve and nurture their family.
Hitler said this was “the natural order”.
Hitler wanted to use families to increase the size of the population and to ensure it was pure Aryan.
Nazi views on the role of women
In public, Hitler said women were “equal but different from men”, but he actually thought women were inferior.
He believed women’s lives should revolve around the three 'Ks': Kinder, Küche, Kirche (Children, Kitchen, Church).
The Nazis expected women to stay at home, look after the family and produce children in order to secure the future of the Aryan race.
Answer:
Role of women in Nazi society followed the rules of a largely patriarchal or male-dominated society. Hitler hailed women as "the most important citizen" in his Germany, but this was true for only Aryan women who bred pure-blooded Aryan children. Motherhood was the only goal they were taught to reach for, apart from performing the stereotypical functions of managing the household and being good wives. This was in stark contrast to the role of women in the French Revolution where women led movements and fought for rights to education and equal wages. They were allowed to form political clubs, and schooling was made compulsory for them after the French Revolution.
