The role of women in Nazi Germany'The role of women in Nazi Germany?' what is this? In this essay I will explain to you what the role of women was in Nazi Germany and how Hitler came to power in Germany and made changes that affected what women did. Hitler changed the way people lived. I will also use the sources to back up my answers. Next I will decide whether the Nazis thought men were better than women. Adolf Hitler first came to power in Germany in January 1933, when he was appointed chancellor. After this, Hitler took control of the Reichstag. Hitler then introduced the Enabling Act which destroyed the Weimar Constitution. This gave Hitler the power to pass any law without seeking the advice of the Reichstag and without the president's approval. This meant that Hitler could pass any laws that would change the way women lived in Nazi Germany. Hitler passed many laws that changed the way women lived their lives. Source 2 shows the rules governing the appearance of German women. This was written by the German Girls' League. A German woman doesn't wear makeup! A German woman doesn't smoke! A German woman has a duty to stay fit and healthy! These laws were passed to show how women wanted to be looked like by Hitler. However, some German women did not like Hitler with his laws banning makeup and smoking. So from time to time laws were broken, especially when Hitler encouraged women to get married, women wanted to look beautiful, so they wore makeup and also died with blonde hair. In Nazi Germany, women had a very specific role. Struck...... middle of paper...... and all that, but the men worked and made money. On the other hand, I think men were no better than women because it was men who made all women stop and leave their jobs to take care of children and do housework . Even when women were equally qualified, they were not allowed to be employed. However, it was difficult to make a decision because the sources focused on the changes the Nazis brought to women's lives but not on what the women thought of them. But looking at the sources and information collected in libraries and on the Internet, I think you can understand how German women really felt. They felt unworthy, especially because they had been told to quit their jobs. One of the problems I had in making this decision was that there were many sources to consult. I think women in Nazi Germany didn't have many rights.
