Esmonde M. Robertson In memoriam

Contents

When I began research on women in Nazi Germany in the mid-1960s, the subject looked insufficiently substantial for a PhD thesis. This time, given the amount of work that has been done in the intervening decades, it has been extremely difficult to condense the subject into a small book. The many debts which I have incurred over thirty-five years have also expanded. I would particularly like to thank the Librarian of the German Historical Institute, London, for her efficient and friendly assistance. Additionally, the University of Edinburghs library staff have willingly met my requests.

Various colleagues have encouraged me over the years, especially at the start of my research and then in later periods of self-doubt. I would like to mention particularly John Fout, Mary Fulbrook, Liz Harvey, Michael Kater, Ian Kershaw, Victor Kiernan, Arthur Marwick, the late Tim Mason, Beate Meyer, Robert Moeller, Tony Nicholls, Richard Overy, Cornelie Usborne. To all of them, I am grateful. I owe a special debt to Liz Harvey and Jim McMillan for reading parts of the text in draft and offering helpful comments. The errors and shortcomings that remain are entirely my responsibility.

My husband, Steve, has been remarkably patient when I have been in intolerant (and intolerable) writing mode.

My greatest debt is to the late Esmonde Robertson. He suggested to me, in 1966, that I should take this subject for my PhD thesis, at a time when most historians of modern Germany were concerned with political and diplomatic history. Without his inspiration, I would never have thought of the subject; without his encouragement, I would not have had the confidence to pursue it. This book is dedicated to his memory.
