Gertrud Scholtz-Klink later known as Maria Stuckebrock (9 February 1902 – 24 March 1999) was a fervent Nazi Party (''NSDAP'') member and leader of the National Socialist Women's League (''NS-Frauenschaft'') in Nazi Germany. == Nazi activities == (詳細はAdolf Hitler came to power in 1933, he appointed Scholtz-Klink as Reich's Women's Führerin and head of the Nazi Women's League. A good orator, her main task was to promote male superiority, the joys of home labour and the importance of child-bearing.〔Robert Wistrich, ''Who's Who in Nazi Germany'' (New York: Routledge, 2001), p. 228.〕 In one speech, she pointed out that "the mission of woman is to minister in the home and in her profession to the needs of life from the first to last moment of man's existence."〔Sigmund, Anna Maria, Nazisternas kvinnor (Women ), Tiedlund, Lund, 2001 (Swedish)〕 Despite her own position, Scholtz-Klink spoke against the participation of women in politics, and took the female politicians in Germany of the Weimar Republic as a bad example: "Anyone who has seen the Communist and Social Democratic women scream on the street and in the parliament, will realize that such an activity is not something which is done by a true woman".〔Sigmund, Anna Maria, Nazisternas kvinnor (Women ), Tiedlund, Lund, 2001 (Swedish)〕 She claimed that for a woman to be involved in politics, she would have to "become like a man" to achieve something, which would "shame her sex" - or "behave like a woman", which would prevent her from achieving anything: either way, therefore, nothing was gained from women acting as politicians. 〔Sigmund, Anna Maria, Nazisternas kvinnor (Women ), Tiedlund, Lund, 2001 (Swedish)〕 In July 1936, Scholtz-Klink was appointed as head of the Woman's Bureau in the German Labor Front, with the responsibility of persuading women to work for the benefit of the Nazi government. In 1938, she argued that "the German woman must work and work, physically and mentally she must renounce luxury and pleasure", though she herself enjoyed a comfortable material existence.〔Sigmund, Anna Maria, Nazisternas kvinnor (Women ), Tiedlund, Lund, 2001 (Swedish)〕 Scholtz-Klink was usually left out of the more important meetings in the male-dominated society of the Third Reich, and was considered to be a figurehead. For propaganda reasons, Nazi Germany liked to present her as influential to foreign countries, but reportedly, she never even met Hitler personally, and if her suggestions clashed with that of a male colleague, her view was never considered.〔Sigmund, Anna Maria, Nazisternas kvinnor (Women ), Tiedlund, Lund, 2001 (Swedish)〕 She did, however, have the influence over women in the party as Hitler had over everyone else. By 1940, Scholtz-Klink was married to her third husband ''SS-Obergruppenführer'' August Heissmeyer, and made frequent trips to visit women at Political Concentration Camps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gertrud Scholtz-Klink」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
