Explanation
Answer: E - Under Hitler's regime, women lost many of the gains of the 1920s. Like Italian fascism, Hitler's National Socialism emphasized the domestic role of women. Women were forced to resign from factory jobs and were banned from holding office and participating in higher education institutes. Instead, Nazism highlighted their role as mothers and emphasized the significance of creating Aryan citizens.
