Despite these major issues, the Republic is often treated only as a preface to the study of the rise of Fascism. This text seeks to restore the balance, exploring the Weimar period in its own right. Amongst the topics discussed are: Weimar as the avant-garde artistic centre of Europe in the 1920s when many cultural figures were politically engaged on both sides of the political spectrum; Weimar as a German state racked by conflict over questions of morality versus ideas of greater sexual freedom for women, homosexual rights, abortion and birth control; the struggle to win the hearts and minds of German youth, a struggle won decisively by the right-wing; and Weimar as the first German state in which women played a significant political role.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892443168919,"sku":"9780719042874","price":2818.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780719042874.webp?v=1781187011","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/weimar-germany-the-republic-of-the-reasonable-9780719042874","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
