Kinder, Küche, Kirche (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪndɐ ˈkʏçə ˈkɪʁçə]), or the 3 Ks, is a German slogan translated as "children, kitchen, church" used under the German Empire[1] to describe a woman's role in society. It now has a mostly derogatory connotation, describing what is seen as an antiquated female role model in contemporary Western society.[2][3] The phrase is vaguely equivalent to the American "barefoot and pregnant",[4] the British Victorian era "A woman's place is in the home"[citation needed] or the phrase "Good Wife, Wise Mother" from Meiji Japan.[5][6]
