Question

Explain in brief, what role did women had played in Nazi society and compare it with the French revolution and write a paragraph comparing and contrasting the role of women in the two periods.

Answer 1

Hint: In Nazi society women were taught one thing that was motherhood. While in French society they fought for their right.

Complete answer:
In the Nazi society, the women were taught one thing by birth that was about motherhood that how to bring up her child and it continued to promote women as a social function as female workers didn’t achieve the same salary for the work which is been done by the other male officer. Abortion was still a crime at that time as women were not allowed to do it under § 218 of the Criminal code.
While in the French Revolution women were taken as a passive citizen as there were forced to rely on men for everything. Women also demanded equality in society same as men as they were not getting treated in the same way as men. As women had no rights in pre-revolutionary France as they didn’t have any vote of had any political office as they were considered passive as men were the ones who defined these categories but later one, they led the movement and fought for their rights to education and equal wages and then they were allowed to form different political clubs and schooling was made compulsory.

Note: In both, we saw that in Nazi society woman was not an important part while in French society they fought for their own rights and wanted a better life for themselves as they didn’t want to be dependent on anyone.
