Question 5

Explain what role women had in Nazi society. Return to Chapter 1 on the French Revolution. Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting the role of women in the two periods.
 

Answer

Role of women in nazi society accompanied the rules of a largely patriarchal or male-dominated society. Hitler hailed women as the most important citizen in Germany but this was true for only Aryan women who brerd pure-blood advantageous Aryans. Motherhood was the only goal they were taught to reach apart from performing the stereotypical functions of household management 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 of education and equal wages like man. They were allowed to form political clubs and schooling that was made compulsory for them after the French revolution.
