Introduction
The Nazis were very patriarchical and anti-feminist.Nazi ideology idealised the role of women as child-bearer and creator of the family: The role of women as child bearers was of central importance in the Nazi aims for the purification of the Aryan race.
Nazi Policies
1.The Law for the Encouragement of Marriage gave newly-wed couples a loan of 1000 marks, and allowed them to keep 250 marks for each child they had.
2. Mothers who had more than 8 children were given a gold medal.

But not all women were happy with the Nazi regime:
1. Job-discrimination against women was encouraged.Women doctors, teachers and civil servants were forced to give up their careers.
2. Women were never allowed to serve in the armed forces - even during the war.
