右翼妇女在纳粹掌权中扮演了什么角色？《国家之母》分析了妇女在德国人民党和德国国家人民党-从温和到激进的右翼政党-中的工作。作者从地方和国家层面上看政治，讨论了从社会福利到外交政策的问题。他指出，右翼妇女，与德国资产阶级妇女运动的传统保持一致，拒绝主要为妇女的利益站出来，而是援引人民共同体（人民的共同体），参与生产的群体之间的和谐与合作。这些权利-右翼活动家认为，德国妇女应该利用她们新赢得的政治权利，通过调和分裂的社会，加强人民共同体。国家并为其注入更高的道德。事实证明，这一立场既是不利因素，也是有利因素。对人民共同体的强调使女性保守派难以为具体的妇女权利而斗争。然而，这也让他们能够掩盖利益集团之间的冲突，这些冲突在1933年之前撕裂了德国的资产阶级政党，也分裂了政治上活跃的妇女。女性试图遏制分裂的方式，这种分裂最终使她们的政党在纳粹面前失去了防御能力，这为魏玛政治提供了新的视角。这本书将右翼女性的争议故事带入生活，对德国历史上一个关键时期的性别和政治进行了令人信服的描述。
What role did right-wing women play in the Nazi rise to power?Mothers of the Nation analyzes the work of women in the German Peoples Party and the German National Peoples Party - parties that covered the range from the moderate to the radical right. Looking at politics on both the local and national level, the author discusses issues ranging from social welfare to foreign policy. He shows that right-wing women, in keeping with the tradition of the German bourgeois womens movement, refused to stand up primarily for womens interests and instead invoked the Volksgemeinschaft (community of the people), a vision of harmony and cooperation of the groups involved in production.These right-wing campaigners believed that German women should use their newly won political rights to strengthen the Volksgemeinschaft by reconciling the divided nation and by infusing it with a higher morality. This stance proved to be both a liability and an asset. The emphasis on the Volksgemeinschaft made it difficult for female conservatives to fight for specific womens rights. Yet it also allowed them to paste over the conflicts between interest groups that tore apart Germanys bourgeois parties prior to 1933 and that divided politically active women as well. The ways in which women sought to contain the fragmentation that ultimately rendered their parties defenceless against the Nazis sheds new light on Weimar politics.Bringing the controversial story of right-wing women to life, this book offers a compelling account of gender and politics during a crucial period in German history.
