Journalist Seyward Darby investigates racial and political extremism in the United States through the story of three women in the white nationalist movement.
Content
After the election of Donald J. Trump, Darby reached out to women within the so-called "alt-right," a new name for white nationalists. While the media portrayed the alt-right mainly as a movement of angry white men, she wanted to understand why women joined it and what this says about America.
Darby found three women, all born in 1979, who radicalized after 9/11: Corinna Olsen, Ayla Stewart, and Lana Lokteff. Their stories provide new insight into women, politics, and extremism.
- Corinna was a professional funeral director and bodybuilder. She found support in white nationalism during her grieving period. Later, she left the movement and worked as an informant for the FBI.
- Ayla, mother of six and Christian, changed from feminist to supporter of the "tradwife" movement, thereby showing how white nationalists exploit traditional gender roles.
- Lana runs a right-wing media company with her husband and thereby spreads disinformation within the far-right movement.
Darby connects these stories to historical hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan and shows how women play a crucial role in normalizing and spreading racist ideologies.
