Breeding machines

Explanation:

When Nazism came to power, the role of women had a sudden change in what was happening to women's movement all around the world. In the 20's, women suffragettes and the feminist movement gained voice in Western civilization. However, Nazis believed this to be one of the main problems in the declining of births. To Nazism, women should only be preoccupied in breeding and be primarily mothers before any other interest. Motherhood, above all, was the security of reproducing the future German and traditional citizens of the world. Thus, as they insisted in the extinction of the Jewish race, at the same time, they thoroughly prepared their women to breed the new and unique race. None of this could be compared to the female emancipation that was going on before National Socialism.
