In the memoir Buck by Mk Asante showed plenty of examples of Feminist theory. For centuries woman in all different shapes and forms has always been belittled. Who are people to judge them for their gender? All woman over should be treated equally. It is in our constitution that everyone should be created equally.
The title of the article is a reference to what the Nazis believed the ideal embodiment of a woman, only concerns children, kitchen and church. This article was considered one of the earliest feminist critiques of how psychology had neglected, omitted, and made myths about women. It has been reprinted over 42 times in six different languages and been included in the 1970 anthology Sisterhood is Powerful: An Anthology of Writings From The Women’s Liberation Movement. Other notable works include, “Neural Symbolic Activity,” “An Object-Superiority Effect,” and “What the Frog’s Eye Tells the Human Brain”.

The rise of the Nazism caused life to change politically, economically, and socially for the Jewish people. It changed politically because they began to lose rights. Their lives changed economically because they were forced to leave their jobs and the Nazis took all their money and belongings. The social life of Jews were also affected because of unfair propaganda. Parents and schools were teaching the kids that Jews were bad so they were shunned and made fun of.
Not only did women get drubbings from Nazi’s, but also be sexually assaulted by them. Nazi guards would rape women prisoners in concentration camps as a form of abuse. Sometimes, Nazi guards would give the woman an extra ration of food or other powers for what was forced upon her. According to (“Women During the Holocaust”), “In both camps and ghettos, women were particularly vulnerable to beatings and rape.” Also according to the article, (Resilience and Courage: Women, Men, and the Holocaust”), “Because Jewish men were viewed as a greater threat to the Nazi’s than Jewish women, men were targeted first to quash political opposition.”
Thesis: Women throughout most genocidal research and history are written as victims to the patriarchal society, victims to the men who waged in war, murder, and the cohered planed killings in genocide. In the Holocaust specifically, women are portrayed in history as the victims of Soviet rape, reconstructing the destroyed Germany and the revivers in the shadows of the Nazi regime. Wendy Lower, in Hitler’s Furies, attempts to debunk this “sympathetic” idea that “rubble” women were only victims to the Nazi society and genocide, and shows that in fact many women from various backgrounds, and job titles were perpetrators of genocide as well. Her thesis is to show that women can be as vindictive, malice and cruel as their men counterparts, and often times used their femininity to escape blame, retributions, to get away with their crimes without punishment. From nurse Annettte Schücking who heard the desperate tales of soldiers mass killings, to wives like Vera Wohlauf who played their role alongside their powerful SS husbands, to secretaries like Liesel Willhaus that typed the orders to kill thousand, the mobilization of women to Ukraine and Poland in pursue of Leiblingraum left few blameless.
In the past, innocent people got persecuted by the hands of other individuals because of hatred. These terrible actions started because of the pure hatred, lack of knowledge, and people didn’t fight back. Since, this happened people have lost their lives for example 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and shooting that is going on. “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate”. Nazi ideology started Propaganda causing discrimination and hate which justified genocide, which led 6.3 millions Jews killed.
Literature is all about your understanding of the text, when I was reading through this semestral works of art I should be familiar with, I feel deeply in love with two for me completely different authors. I experienced a lot of emotions during reading through all the works, but the most obvious emotions for me were feminism and racism. I would love to higlight those emotions in this short work in form of the comparative essay trying to characterize the differencess in the feelings of the main characters. To be completely honest, I think that there is a lot to compare beetween holocaust, feminism and racism and that emotions connected with are on the completely different levels sometimes.
Ever wondered if Jewish and non Jewish women were targeted more than men during the Holocaust due to their gender? Six million Jewish and five million non Jewish men and women died during World War 2; four million of those eleven million being women. They played a huge role in the equality of gender during this era. This was a huge stepping stone to the advancement of the end of feminism, although there is still a slight separation of gender today. Women were treated so differently than men and sadly, in some peopleś eyes, still are.

Many would argue that The Book Thief is a feminist book, including a female lead who rebels against rules put in place by Adolf Hitler himself. “The words were thrown at the steps and Liesel could feel the slush of anger, stirring hotly in her stomach. ‘I hate the Füher,’ she said. ‘I hate him.’ ” (Page 115)
(Coakley, 2003, p.28). Feminist theory is modelled on the idea that “social order is based primarily on the values, experiences, and interests of men with power. Social life and social order is gendered and based on patriarchal ideas.” (Coakley, 2003, p.29).
With the rise of civilization also came the rise of patriarchy-based societies and the slow decline of the importance of women in society. For the longest time the history of the world has been written by men who have been the head of the patriarchy and have forgotten the role of women in history. It is important to realize that women do in fact have a place at the table with men when it comes to importance in history, and are not just the ones cooking and serving the meal. It is women who tasked with raising the next generation. By looking at women of the past, people of the future can learn and evolve to fight oppression and gain their own power.
Alice Paul inspired Second Wave Feminism, or Radical Feminism, which started approximately 40 years after Liberal Feminism. Radical Feminism shifted the gear from political rights to social equality. Radical Feminism starts with the premise that women’s oppression is the most fundamental oppression. In particular, the movement asserts that males are always privileged in comparison to females. So Radical Feminism proposed the Equal Rights Amendment, which never passed.
