Peasant women helped in the fields, but their primary domain was the household where cooking and child-rearing took place. The skill of training young girls fell to the more mature women of the household. Women could inherit property and pass it on to heirs. Women's social and political roles, while complementary to men's, remained subordinate. Marriages were often arranged through lineages, and virginity was highly regarded of young women at marriage. Their skill at weaving was also highly regarded.

How were women treated by the Nazis?

basically women were treated as machines of reproduction to reproduce soldiers for the country......As housewives and mothers, their lives were controlled. Women were not expected to wear make-up or trousers. The dyeing of hair was not allowed nor were perms. Only flat shoes were expected to be worn. Women were discouraged from slimming as this was considered bad for child birth. Women were encouraged to have a well built figure as slim women, so it was taught, would have problems in pregnancy…….Women were also discouraged from smoking - not because it was linked to problems with pregnancies - but because it was considered non-German to do so.
