Blee, Kathleen M. Women of the Klan: racism and gender in the 1920s. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2009. In this book, Kathleen Blee provides some insight into the reasoning behind women's involvement within the KKK and the WKKK. The book gives an overview of the first and second waves of the Ku Klux Klan, and the effect that women had in each. Blee uncovers the heart of the movement and the reasoning behind women's participation. This book will be a useful source for me, as it provides a variety of information on the origins of the WKKK, and the significant role that it played, both within the Klan and outside of the Klan.

Blee explains how women who were seemingly ordinary became involved in the radically racist and violent organization known as the KKK. Her primary focus was not the 1920's Klan, though, so much of the information will be irrelevant to my focus.

Gender & History 3, no. 3 (1991): 285-303. doi:10.1111/j.1468- 0424.1991.tb00132.x. This article describes women finding their role in society, the Klan's place in the community, and the way in which women manipulated and incited the Klan to provide security and protection, both of which were being taken away as they gained their newfound freedoms. This is a helpful source for understanding how women benefited from the Klan.

This book reviews the origin of the Ku Klux Klan, the way in which the KKK promoted itself as a protector of women, and the ways that the women of the Klan complemented and boosted the success of the organization as a whole. Pinar finds that the WKKK was more than a political tool, but a source of social experience as well. Pinar covers significant information on women's role within the Klan. However, Pinar relied on information from Blee, a book already on my reading list, for a large majority of the information provided, making that content useless to
