white women's sale of themselves!

Southern white women typically and sadly rebel against their best interests

in ways they know not how not to do. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

WHITE WOMEN, the KLAN, and FEMINISM


"For the far right, women are vital propagandists and figureheads. White supremacy needs women, too. It always has.

In her new book The Second Coming of the KKK, historian Linda Gordon writes about the vital role of white women in the 20th-century rise of the Klu Klux Klan. This wasn’t the KKK of the 1880s, riding at night to break strikes and reimposing slavery through labor discipline and lynchings. The KKK of the 1920s was a corporate behemoth, part social club, part political movement...

You called your chapter on women “KKK Feminism,” which made me think of today’s white nationalist movement and its own version of feminism — returning to traditional gender roles.

Linda Gordon: I think I named it that almost deliberately, to be provocative, because I want people to understand that feminism comes in all versions. You can have not only racist feminism, you can have feminism that speaks only to corporate leaders...

There is a tendency for people to think of feminism as one coherent whole, which it has never been."  - Michael Scipio
