Summary/Abstract: The presented paper deals with the issue of the Nazi propaganda on the women´s magazines (List paní a dívek, Hvězda českých paní a dívek and Eva). At the beginning of the occupation, the magazine articles show defensive tendencies and support of the Czech nation and traditions in the form of depictions of important Czech women. The content of articles was changing with the growing sucess of the Nazi Germany on the front line and with the increasing pressure on the protectorate government. The stories focused more on the promotion of a German woman as a mother, housekeeper and peasant in a "grain battle" or a worker who represented her man fighting for the victory of the Third Reich. The German woman became a role model for a Czech woman, who was supposed to adopt a new political order and to support the Nazi Germany.This article is based on the study and analysis of magazine articles in confrontation with the domestic literature.
