Abstract:
From extensive research, including a remarkable interview with the unrepentant chief of Hitler's Women's Bureau, this book traces the roles played by women -- as followers, victims and resisters -- in the rise of Nazism. Originally publishing in 1987, it is an important contribution to the understanding of women's status, culpability, resistance and victimization at all levels of German society, and a record of astonishing ironies and paradoxical morality, of compromise and courage, of submission and survival
