| Description Of Item | Clipped article from the Observer in a scrapbook from the collection of John Ritchie relating to clashes between women with bobbed hair within the ‘steel helmet organisation’ [Der Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten] over a lack of patriotism. One incident in Zerbau, Silesia, saw the imposition of a tax on bobbed heads, with married women taxed at two shillings a month and single women at one. |
