Writing and Rewriting the Reich. Women Journalists in the Nazi and Postwar Press
Book launch followed by a discussion with Deborah Barton (author, assistant professor, Universitié de Montréal) and Norman Domeier (Charles Univerity, Prague)
Writing and Rewriting the Reich. Women Journalists in the Nazi and Postwar Press tells the complex story of women journalists as both outsiders and insiders in the German press of the National Socialist and post-war years. From 1933 onward, Nazi press authorities valued female journalists as a means to influence the public through charm and subtlety rather than intimidation or militant language. Deborah Barton reveals that despite the deep sexism inherent in the Nazi press, some women were able to capitalize on the gaps between gender rhetoric and reality to establish prominent careers in both soft and hard news, making a significant contribution to Nazi propaganda.
