"In part, this is the story of how ordinary women were wooed by the Nazis. After decades of conflicting messages, women were presented with a clear and reassuringly female identity as 'bearers of culture for the next generation'. As embodied in Magda Goebbels, wife of the Propaganda Minister and mother of six, German women saw motherhood proclaimed their highest duty, and for the first time, the role of housewife was recognized as a profession. Nazi Women investigates how women formed the backbone of the Third Reich by conforming to the Nazi ideal, learning household chores and eugenics in the Reich's Bridal Schools and ensuring their children joined the Hitler Youth and the BDM (League of German Girls). As Hitler's power grew and war loomed, events took a darker turn, and German women became complicit in a chain of ever more unconscionable acts."--BOOK JACKET.
