Summary |
After the election of Donald J. Trump, Darby went looking for the women of the so-called 'alt-right' -- really just white nationalism with a new label. The mainstream media depicted the alt-right as a bastion of angry white men, but was it? Why would women join a movement espousing racism and anti-feminism? And what did their activism reveal about America's past, present, and future? Corinna Olsen, Ayla Stewart, and Lana Lokteff, each born in 1979, became a white nationalist in the post-9/11 era. Their respective stories of radicalization upend much of what we assume about women, politics, and political extremism. -- adapted from jacket. |
