Women in the Ku Klux Klan Movement Name Course Date Why women found Ku Klux Klan appealing Women found the Ku Klux Klan very appealing because they realized that without political power they had no chance of solving the social and economic problems as a result of inequality and injustices. In order to be effective in solving the injustices and all the problems that confronted fellow women they needed political power which was only through the Ku Klux Klan because the political space was domineered by the male (Blee 2014). Women therefore poured into the Ku Klux Klan get punished for their injustices against their women and children alike. Conclusion The WKKK was a formation by the Klanswomen who had unified opinion against the social injustices that faced them. Their agenda was geared towards the non-Klan ideologies policies election candidates and businesses including newspapers that had differing opinions to those of the Klanswomen.

Order Description:
Prof. Blee's article on women in the Ku Klan Klan is fascinating. As we're examining this week, the first decades of the 20th century were tumultuous: there was enormous social change, the U.S. was becoming "modern" because of the surge in industrialism, the economy was hot (until it crashed in 1929), immigration was, as it always is, a controversial topic, the nation was becoming diverse, more and more formerly disenfranchised people (women and minorities) were asserting their rights. Wow! A lot was going on. Into this mix come women who find the right wing politics of the Ku Klux Klan very appealing. Why? What was their agenda and what were their tactics?
