For centuries, a woman's role in German society was summed up and circumscribed by the three "K" words: Kinder (children), Kirche (church), and Küche (kitchen).
In XX century, women have won equal rights and in 1919 they won the right of vote. The world war II affected to German´s women because they took the positions held by men.
Women started to have economic responsabilities. The government gave them educational and vocational oportunities. A system of social supports such as a day-care network for children was put in place to permit women to be both, mothers and workers. About 90% of german women worked outside the home.
Women also made gains in education. They accounted for about half of all secondary school graduates who had prepared to study at institutes of higher learning. In 1975, they were in the majority with 53%.
In June 1992 the Bundestag voted to ease abortion restrictions and to permit the procedure during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy with compulsory counselling.

In politics in the 1990s the most successful woman is Rita Süssmuth, president of the Bundestag. Following the assassination of Detlev Rohwedder in 1991, Birgit Breuel assumed the leadership, the powerful agency charged with privatizing the former East German economy. Some people weren't agreed with that protagonism of the woman and a magazine chose 100 most powerful people in Germany
One of the most important issues was abortion in 1990s, there were about 125,000 registered abortions performed in Germany

ResponderEliminarI think that women stylife change thanks to the war world II, because thay started to do things that they didn't do. Men were in the war, so women had to be man and woman at home. The vast majority of women has to work in factories, countryside and so on.
ResponderEliminarTalking about abortion in my opinion is an issue of each person if a woman want to do it is her problem. she is the only one who have the opinion, the right of her body.

it's nice to know that in a country in the world the women's right were promulgated earlier than other countries. And the only good point of the world war was to helped that the women's rights were more important.

Germany is light years in compare to many countries it is very important to realise the role that women have got in a society which is one of most progressist in the world

As Germany is an old country they have lived more and of course they have had more troubles. As they were main participants of the biggest world ever, women were forced to do the men's job. So of course nowadays they have more equal rights between women and men. We are a new country and we are followers of the old ones.

I loved the "three K`s" But actually in the WW2 german women had to be the "father and the mother" at the same time. Because her husband were fighting in war, and some of them died so, some of them were father and mother for the rest of their lives.

I think that when women won the right of vote everything was going to change because from that day women had more educational and vocational oportunities and that it is very nice because all women want this kind of things happen in her country.

ResponderEliminarI expected that, Germany has always been considered as a developed country in many aspects and for me women are as important as men. I´m greated about because they are taking advantage of women capacities and that´s something that other countries should do.
ResponderEliminarMauricio Araos
I am glad because the role of women is very important in this country. The opinion of women are valued. Women also can do it!! We are humans too, don't products, neither slaves.
ResponderEliminarLily Vega.-
It’s very interesting the details that you mention, like the 3 K’s for example, is something that you’ll never think to describe a woman. I thought that if the World War II never happened, maybe women had had the possibility to develop their rights and skills in a better way of how they lived during that time.
ResponderEliminarThe abortions in the 90’s were an extremely cruel fact in my opinion, really sad.
