The following IA shall explore: a compare and contrast between the role of women under the reigns of Hitler (1933-1945) and Stalin (1928-1954) to discover which was better and why.
The following is a secondary source article on Women Under Stalin called ‘A New Womanhood’ published by Chelsea Adler in 2008. The purpose of this article is to show the different aspects of the role of women under Stalin’s reign. The origin is valuable due to distance from Stalin’s reign, the text can be more objectively written and referenced. The limitation of origin is that the text references other secondary texts making it weaker with no concrete ideas. The value of purpose is that it shows how equally men and women were treated under Stalin. The …show more content…
Hitler primarily saw women as housewives and nothing more. Girls were taught early on that this is their lifestyle to be. Upon becoming Chancellor of Germany, one of Hitler’s earliest laws was the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage, which states newlyweds were given 1000 marks (9 months salary) - which 800,000 couples took (C N Trueman). The law states that per child born, the loan would be reduced, encouraging newlyweds to have children and fulfilling his plan of breeding more citizens for his Hitlerjunge Quex (Hitler’s propagandist youth program) for his later dictatorship. Women were oppressed due to Hitler believing the only role they served was to produce ‘pure’ Germans who shall strengthen the country's military and defence (Women In The Third Reich). He even plotted that the role of women to the three K's "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" (youngsters, kitchen, church) as he saw no motivation behind why ladies ought to work (Hitler and the Law, 1920-1945). Hitler drove ladies from their occupations and colleges so that they could focus on their families. In the year prior to the Nazis came to control there were 18,315 ladies understudies in Germany's colleges. By 1939 this number had tumbled to 5,447. In Weimar Germany there had been 100,000 female instructors, 3000 female specialists and 13,000 female performers. After Hitler rose to power, numerous female attorneys and educators were let go and by 1939, many …show more content…
I found the research to be quite easy as both dictators have played a large role in world history, but the content of the research was tricky as an abundance of information was available - some relating to the thesis and some not. I learned how to differentiate between useful and irrelevant sources by relating it to the investigations purpose.
The reliability of a source is difficult, especially on the internet, yet it can be achieved by understudying asking key questions when examining the source. Examples are: Who wrote the source? Looking for who wrote the piece as anyone can pose as an authority online thus spreading false information. Another question is; is the domain credible? anyone can also create a website so domains with .org/.gov are more credible than .com as they indicate the purpose of the source.
Proof in history is not easy to prove, thus allowing historians commence background checks on information and must decide if a piece of information is equally acceptable to other sources or is weaker - often put against standards historians have to judge new
