Melissa Kravetz explains how and why women occupied particular fields within the medical profession, how they presented themselves in their professional writing, and how they reconciled their medical perspectives with their views of the Weimar and later the Nazi state. Focusing primarily on those women who were members of the Bund Deutscher Ärztinnen (League of German Female Physicians or BDÄ), this study shows that female physicians used maternalist and, to a lesser extent, eugenic arguments to make a case for their presence in particular medical spaces. They emphasized gender difference to claim that they were better suited than male practitioners to care for women and children in a range of new medical spaces. During the Weimar Republic, they laid claim to marriage counselling centres, school health reform, and the movements against alcoholism, venereal disease, and prostitution. In the Nazi period, they emphasized their importance to the Bund Deutscher Mädels (League of German Girls), the Reichsmütterdienst (Reich Mothers' Service), and breast milk collection efforts. Women doctors also tried to instil middle-class values into their working-class patients while fashioning themselves as advocates for lower-class women."-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 0 Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Promoting marriage, motherhood, eugenics, and comprehensive health care in marriage counselling centers -- Preparing girls for motherhood: School doctors, youth welfare, and the reform of girls' physical education -- Fighting the vices that threatened women and children: Sex, alcohol, and disease -- Building the Volksgemeinschaft and supporting racial hygiene in the Bund Deutscher Mädel and Reichsmütterdienst -- Advocating healthy infant nutrition practices through breast milk collection: Maternal guardians on the home front -- Conclusion. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Women physicians |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Medical care |xSex differences |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Medical care |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 2 Physicians, Women |xhistory. |0(DNLM)D010822Q000266 650 2 History, 20th Century. |0(DNLM)D049673 651 2 Germany. |0(DNLM)D005858 650 6 Femmes médecins |zAllemagne |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 6 Soins médicaux |xDifférences entre sexes |zAllemagne |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 6 Soins médicaux |zAllemagne |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 7 Medical care. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 Medical care |xSex differences. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01013857 650 7 Women physicians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178296 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 610 27 Bund Deutscher Ärztinnen. |2gnd |0(DE-588)64055-4 650 7 Ärztin. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4140665-5 651 7 Deutschland. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4011882-4 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 650 7 Medical care. |2homoit 830 0 German and European studies ; |v34. 852 0 |bscstacks |hR692 |i.K73 2019
