Association Of German Housewives
The Association of German Housewives (german: Allgemeiner deutscher HausFrauenverein) was founded in Berlin in 1873 by Linda Morgenstern. Aside from acting as a lobbying group for housewives it published a magazine ''Deutscher Hausfrauenzeitung'' which Morgenstern edited. Alongside offering practical advice, the organisation ran a cooking school and labour exchange for domestic servants. The organisation evolved by fighting for the rights of housewives and sought to gain recognition of housewifery as a profession. Following the outbreak of the First World War the association was involved in setting up the National Federation of German Housewives Associations () which played a role in food distribution and sharing information about food price control. Following the end of the First World War it was one of the most conservative groups within the League of German Women's Associations. It participated in the Rhenish Women's League, an organisation setup to protest against the use of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

First World War
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war. Prior to 1914, the European great powers were divided between the Triple Entente (comprising France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (containing Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). Tensions in the Balkans came to a head on 28 June 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
League Of German Women's Associations
The Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine (Federation of German Women's Associations) (BDF) was founded on 28/29 March 1894 as umbrella organization of the women's civil rights feminist movement and existed until the Nazi seizure of power in 1933. Its creation was inspired by the founding of the World's Congress of Representative Women meeting on the occasion of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Several women from Germany attended this event: Anna Simson, Hanna Bieber-Böhm, Auguste Förster, Käthe Schirmacher. They took the example of the American National Council of Women as a model for the BDF. The International Council of Women also played a role in strengthening the co-operation between the NCW and the BDF. Governance The first board was composed of: * Auguste Schmidt * Anna Schepeler-Lette, Chairperson of the Latvian Club * Anna Simson * Hanna Bieber-Böhm as chairwoman of the association for the protection of minors Representative of the morality movement * Au ...

Rhenish Women's League
The Rhenish women's league (Rheinische Frauenliga) was an organisation set up by the Rheinische Volkspflege (Protectors of the Rhenish people) to bring together various primarily middle class women's organisations initially to campaign against the use of African troops by the French Army in the occupation of the Rhineland. The idea was initiated by a member of the Cologne-based Neven du Mont family and taken up by the civil servant Margarete Gärtner, who organised the first conference in Frankfurt am Main, 23–24 June 1920. The conference ratified her as the leader. Constituent organisations The league was composed of the following organisations in May 1921: *Katholischer Deutscher Frauenbund (Catholic Women's Federation) *Evangelischer Frauenbund *Israelitischer Frauenbund *Frauenausschuss der christlichen Gewerkschaften (Women's Committee of the Christian Unions) *Frauenausschuss der sozial-demokratischen Partei *Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine (League of German Women's Association ...

Black Horror On The Rhine
The Black Horror on the Rhine was a moral panic aroused in Weimar Germany and elsewhere concerning allegations of widespread crimes, especially sexual crimes, said to be committed by Senegalese Tirailleurs, Senegalese and other African soldiers serving in the French Army during the French occupation of the Rhineland between 1918 and 1930. ''Die schwarze Schande'' or w:de:Alliierte Rheinlandbesetzung#.E2.80.9ESchwarze Schmach.E2.80.9C, ''Die schwarze Schmach'' ("the Black Shame" or "the Black Disgrace") were terms used by right-wing press as German nationalism, German nationalist propaganda in opposition to these events. The colonial troops referred to were soldiers from Senegal, Indochina, and Madagascar. The majority of colonial African soldiers were accused of committing rape and mutilation against the German population. The campaign reached its peak between 1920 and 1923, but did not stop until 1930. Adolf Hitler blamed Jews for bringing the Senegalese into the Rhineland. Along ...

Occupation Of The Rhineland
The Occupation of the Rhineland from 1 December 1918 until 30 June 1930 was a consequence of the collapse of the Imperial German Army in 1918, after which Germany's provisional government was obliged to agree to the terms of the 1918 armistice. This included accepting that the troops of the victorious powers occupied the left bank of the Rhine and four right bank "bridgeheads" with a radius around Cologne, Koblenz, Mainz and a radius around Kehl. Furthermore, the left bank of the Rhine and a strip east of the Rhine was declared a demilitarized zone. The Treaty of Versailles repeated these provisions, but limited the presence of the foreign troops to fifteen years after the signing of the treaty (until 1934). The purpose of the occupation was on the one hand to give France security against a renewed German attack, and on the other to serve as a guarantee for reparations obligations. After this was apparently achieved with the Young Plan, the occupation of the Rhineland w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Women's Suffrage In Germany
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Thro ...
