Résumé anglais Liliane Crips, On Feminism as Decadence : the Debate about Women's Rights on the Conservative and the Revolutionary Right during the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich In Germany after the First World War, feminism was considered by a large part of conservative public opinion to be a symptom of decadence. One of the most influential antifeminists was Oswald Spengler who, in his Decline of the West, claimed that western culture at its apogee was animated by a masculine principle of will, "the faustian soul", whereas women represent the principle od duty. The transition from cultural antifeminism to biological antifeminism is accompanied by the nationalist concept of "demographic decline". For nazi ideologists like Hans F.K. Gunther or Alfred Rosenberg, the "Nordic" woman, defined as the "guardian of the race", could not demand either sexual liberty or socio-professional activity.
