Abstract
This thesis discusses how racist and discriminatory depictions of women of different ethnic backgrounds contributes to segregation and racism through analysing the cases of Jewish women in Nazi Germany and black women in pre-civil rights America. The thesis is divided into three chapters, the first of which discusses background relevant to the two cases being discussed. The second chapter discusses the importance of femininity in segregationist depictions and the third chapter consists of a visual analysis of works demonstrative of several key theories. The author concludes that barring contextually-specific details, the methods that are employed in both cases have significant overlap in intention and effect with regards to the defeminisation of minority women.
