Discuss this article by Sarah Zama here.

This is the last of this series, my thanks for Sarah for allowing us to republish it. It was one of several 1910s to 1930s a-z lists she did over on her website so pop over there to see more.

As the article points out, one of the factors for the rise of right-wing extremism in Germany was a patriarchal reaction to the post-WW1 emancipation of women, and its perceived threat to traditional gender roles. Nazism strongly emphasized that the right place for women was in the home, serving their husbands and taking care of their (ideally many) children.

I'm not quite sure what your point is? Insofar as there was a reassertion of patriarchal values in US society, it took place after WW2. During the Great Depression more women joined the workforce out of necessity.

I wanted to note that the Great Depression was by far the biggest cause for the rise of the Nazis.
