"White Women Have Made White Supremacy a Much More Formidable and Long-Lasting Force"

"The point, here, is neither to catalog nor to celebrate white women's contributions to white supremacist politics. Instead, their work should change how we understand history.

Elizabeth Gillespie McRae at The New York Times writes about "the ways white women sometimes used white supremacy for their own gain."
