How successfully did the Nazis impose their ideology on German women?

Nazis believed women should concentrate on childbearing and supporting their husbands
This distinct role for women was seen as important and of equal value to the role of men
Many of the Nazis' reactionary ideas were widely held, and many women viewed their policies positively
Nazi policies towards women were in some respects contradictory
The Nazis stressed the role of the family, but increasingly they were prepared to encourage divorce and extra-marital sex to breed more genetically pure German
The Gov. provided marriage loans and increased welfare services for mothers
The Nazis initially encouraged and forced women to give up some jobs, but this trend was reversed during the Second World War
Women's opportunities in universities were initially restricted, but this policy too was later reversed
The Nazis set up several women's organisations that involved women outside the family sphere
Women's experience of the Third Reich was complex and varied, and was not simply a reflection of Nazi ideology
