Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Women's Mobilisation for War (Germany) By Matthew Stibbe This article argues that the mobilisation of women in the German empire between 1914 and 1918 was almost wholly conditioned by male priorities and interests. In particular, the increase in the number of women employed in war-related industries represented a temporary relocation of female labour, not a permanent re-evaluation of women’s place in the workforce. There is, in addition, little evidence of a ‘self-mobilisation’ of working-class women. Nonetheless, the bourgeois and Social Democratic women’s movements were active in the construction of ‘mobilisation myths’ which are relevant to our understanding of the cultural history of the war and its aftermath.

  • Wages During War, Inflation, and Dictatorship
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Wages in Germany, 1871-1945 Volume Author/Editor: Gerhard Bry assisted by Charlotte Boschan Volume Publisher: Princeton University Press Volume ISBN: 0-87014-067-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/bry_60-1 Publication Date: 1960 Chapter Title: Wages during War, Inflation, and Dictatorship Chapter Author: Gerhard Bry Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c2509 Chapter pages in book: (p. 191 - 265) CHAPTER 5 Wages during War, Inflation, and Dictatorship THE present chapter is concerned with wage behavior in World War I, the Great Inflation, and the period of National Socialism including World War II. During these extraordinary episodes of German history, the course of wages was so much affected by drastic changes in political and economic circumstances and in governmental control measures that it can be understood only in terms of these unique determinants. The Great Inflation may be regarded as an aftermath of World War I. And World War II follows the political, economic, and military pre- parations carried out in the preceding phase of National Socialism. Thus the contiguous episodes are related. It appears advisable to treat the periods 1913-18 and 1919-23 separately, and to consider 1933-45 as a unit. The periods 1913-18 and 1919-23 present sharp contrasts; the war years of the Kaiserreich differed widely from the postwar years of the Weimar Republic, when the prevalent sentiments were pacifist and anti-imperialist. The war period and the post-war years, moreover, form two distinct business cycles, reflecting the initial success and final collapse of the war adventure (19 14-17-19) and the inflationary boom and bust of the reconstruction period (1919-22-23).
