Prior to World War II, many women were unemployed, due to the Great Depression which had started a decade before. With men always getting preference for jobs, there were very few jobs left for women.

Some states also barred married women from holding jobs. However during World War II, America produced at an efficiency which was higher than ever. This meant that the women had an increasing number of jobs. Jobs in the public sector opened up.

Fashion is also very different, women are in plain dresses while men are in blue denim jackets. Women during the Great Depression are actually depressed because they can not get jobs and their wages are half as as much as men. Men gets good jobs and amazing wages but at least both still got their fashion.

The 1920’s was an era of dramatic political and cultural change, where many Americans lived in cities rather than farms. Many inventors came to be noticed as new cars were invented and as music entered the entertainment industry. A new style of music was invented mainly in the African American community, creating the Harlem Renaissance; which was an evolution of music and entertainment in Harlem, New York City. The women of America began to evolve in the 1920s, adding new styles to our fashion industry and changing the way women dress, act, and are portrayed in society for generations. Women were viewed before the 1920’s as innocent housewives, that made little to no money, as they often relied on their husbands’ for income. Women also had little to no rights, such as voting rights, which many women began to protest. Women of the 1920’s through the 1930’s influenced and impacted society by transforming their looks from innocent housewives to a sexually liberated generation of women, increasing the working rate to twenty-five percent by working in factories and the telemarketing business, and participating in the Women’s Suffrage Movement in which they protested for their rights which then influenced the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Women in Nazi Germany is based upon the Nazi regime’s attitudes, policies, and ideologies concerning the role of women in the public and private sphere. Stephenson argues that the women of Nazi Germany should be studied in depth, including the support they gave to the regime, the treatment they received, and the different roles they played. However, she argues they should not be studied separately from the other happenings at the time, but instead, they should be incorporated into the history just as the men are. This book reviews their roles, functions, and how they were controlled by the Nazi leadership, and also their lives in pre-Nazi Germany.

Most of the previous authors looked at the "typical" German woman of the Third Reich, but what Anna Marie Sigmund's 2000 text Women of the Third Reich set out to do was to educate readers about the women in the sphere of the "Nazi Elite.

Each of these women was either related to Hitler, married or related to one of his officers, or worked for the Nazi party (both directly and indirectly). By working in the same style as Owings, Sigmund gives reader glimpse into individual lives, utilizing written primary and secondary sources rather the personal interviews, and from these stories, commonalities can be found, and conclusions drawn.

This law specified that all newly married couples would get a government loan of 1000 marks which was about 9 months average income. This loan was not to be simply paid back. The birth of one child meant that 25% of the loan did not

This historical analysis will define the emerging modernity of feminism as a process that developed out of Zionist labor movements that argued in favor of women’s labor rights in the workforce during WWII. The importance of Zionist socialism during the WWII era provided women with a new incentive to demand better working conditions and participation in the workforce. This occurred primarily during the Fifth Aliyah in Israeli settlements, which coincided with massive immigrations from Hitler’s Germany into Palestine. In this manner, the rise of Israel as a modern Jewish state in the middle of the 20th century defines a new era in which women could argue for equal rights in the workplace. For instance, the document “The Worker’s Wife” defines

As many may think, women weren’t as important during the renaissance period. Some seem to believe that women had it easier than they do today. Some even believe that they had much more power and independence. If only that were true.
