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 victimisation at all levels of German society; and a record of astonishing ironies and paradoxical morality; of compromise and courage; of submission and survival.

It does a good job with setting down the basics and allows the professor to build on it. My history professor used the textbook as a guideline to build up on the material and make each topic a story. Since the class was a lecture; if I missed anything; I could always reference the book again.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Really nice book!By SamanthaThis book is really detail-oriented with vivid pictures and easy to follow writing. I am using this book right now for my History class. The questions at the end of the chapter reviews and the focus questions are really good at helping you stay focused on the "big picture" and challenging yourself to remember the material. This book is not the boring "history is just about learning the dates" kind of teaching. The author actually reaches into the era; and explains what was really going on. I definitely recommend this book; even for "History class haters."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy S. GuestRequired for my Wes Civ class. I read it from cover to cover. Well written and flowed effortlessly from topic to topic. As with any history book; because there is so much information to cover; sometimes it was difficult to keep the time straight; but at the end of each chapter; Mr. Spielvogel; had a great summary and timelines. I actually learned some things from this book. Interesting and kept my interest.
