Mothers in the Fatherland

More about the book

National Book Award NomineeAmerican Library Association Notable BookAn Outstanding Book in Women's History at the Berkshire Conference of Women HistoriansFrom the collapse of the Kaiser's regime to the destruction of Hitler in his bunker, Germany has been studied, explicated, and psychoanalyzed time and again. Yet there have been few detailed investigations into the historical and cultural roles played by German women in modern times. This important book, which Kirkus called "original and intriguing," corrects this imbalance.
