In what ways were the lives of women in Germany affected by Nazi social policies?

Nazi social policies targeting women were mainly attempts to return women to the traditional role of a housewife as well as producing more children. In order to achieve this, they set up the National Socialist Womanhood and the German Women's Enterprise which organised mother's schools, running courses in household management and motherhood. These organisations had several million members, indicating that they had a drastic impact upon women's perceptions of their femininity. The Nazis also tried to reduce the role of women in the workforce by issuing a series of laws restricting the amount and type of work they could do. Also, in 1933 marriage loans were offered to couple on the condition of the wife leaving work to have children.
However, by 1938 a significant contradiction in Nazi policy towards women became very apparent. The pressures of war preparation meant that women were required to work, completely undermining the marriage loan scheme which had attempted to push women out of the labour force. Therefore impossible expectations were placed upon women as on one hand they were expected to stay at home and raise children, but on the other hand they were needed to work in factories to help get the country ready for war. This put women in a difficult situation in which they torn between to contrasting ideals, making their identity as women extremely confusing.
