The foreword sets the tone for the book; the importance of the role of the German woman and mother in the nation's past, present and future, and as a wife. The approximately 100 (unnumbered) glossy art paper pages have clear photographs of German women greeting Adolf Hitler, mothers and babies, women at work in factories and at home, cooking and eating, in folklore clothing, children in NSV homes, NSV nurses, BdM girls in sport clothing, even an ethnic German Girl Scout from German Southwest Africa.
