A women's chapter of the KKK in the early twentieth-century Midwest is uncovered in this fascinating and meticulously researched social history.
In the xenophobic atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s, Ku Klux Klan activity spiked in Wisconsin and gave rise to Women's Klan no. 14, also known as the Grey Eagles of Chippewa Falls. Against a national backdrop that saw the Klan hurl its collective might into influencing presidential elections and federal legislation, quotidian matters often stole the attention of the Grey Eagles. Drawing on never-before-seen materials, author John E. Kinville unfolds their complex legacy.
For every minute spent upholding Prohibition and blocking Catholic Al Smith's path to the White House, the Grey Eagles spent two raising funds for their order and helping neighbors in need. What unfolds in Kinville's work is the complex legacy of these Chippewa Falls women who struggled to balance care for their community against the malicious ideology of the Klan.
