Journalist Seyward Darby's "masterfully reported and incisive" (Nell Irvin Painter) exposé pulls back the curtain on modern racial and political extremism in America telling the "eye-opening and unforgettable" (Ibram X. Kendi) account of three women immersed in the white nationalist movement. After the election of Donald J. Trump, journalist Seyward 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? As women headlined resistance to the Trump administration's bigotry and sexism, most notably at the Women's Marches, Darby wanted to know why others were joining a movement espousing racism and anti-feminism. Who were these women, and what did their activism reveal about America's past, present, and future? Darby researched dozens of women across the country before settling on three ?? Corinna Olsen, Ayla Stewart, and Lana Lokteff. Each was born in 1979, and 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. Corinna, a professional embalmer who was once a body builder, found community in white nationalism before it was the alt-right, while she was grieving the death of her brother and the end of hermarriage. For Corinna, hate was more than just personal animus ?? it could also bring people together. Eventually, she decided to leave the movement and served as an informant for the FBI.
Ayla, a devoutly Christian mother of six, underwent a personal transformation from self-professed feminist to far-right online personality. Her identification with the burgeoning "tradwife" movement reveals how white nationalism traffics in society's preferred, retrograde ways of seeing women. Lana, who runs a right-wing media company with her husband, enjoys greater fame and notoriety than many of her sisters in hate. Her work disseminating and monetizing far-right dogma is a testament to the power of disinformation. With acute psychological insight and eye-opening reporting, Darby steps inside the contemporary hate movement and draws connections to precursors like the Ku Klux Klan. Far more than mere helpmeets, women like Corinna, Ayla, and Lana have been sustaining features of white nationalism. Sisters in Hate shows how the work women do to normalize and propagate racist extremism has consequences well beyond the hate mov… (altro)
absolutely CRUCIAL in understanding women's role in white nationalist spaces and the different avenues in which the recruitment process takes place, especially in our current social media climate!!!beyond the obvious alt-right paths via youtube and message boards, there's really important moments in here that showcase how certain circles (tradwives, paganism, new age wellness) can be exposure to white nationalist talking points and pull women in with promise of empowerment & community- and these circles/subcultures are all having their moment on tiktok and instagram right now. power truly lies in understanding that you're not always going to encounter hate groups that are violent and easy to spot; you're just as likely to find them in women like the ones featured here who are polite and 'normal' and 'just asking questions' ( )
I've read several books about hate groups and extremism and this one is particularly unique being that it focuses on women of the movement since the coverage seems to be dominated by men in cammo with assault rifles across their shoulder. It was very insightful and thorough and you can tell the author has passion and pride in her work. ( )

This was a hard read because the ideas WN women hold are so hateful, and the language is very uncensored in this book, but I think it's necessary to be familiar with. It's an interesting look into the psyche of women who hold WN ideals closely. (As a side-note, I was also unfamiliar with the site St0rmfr0nt and now the superhero's persona on The Boys makes SO MUCH sense and is much more on-the-nose than I realized. The more you know.)
As many white Americans struggle to better understand Black lives, it is crucial to understand the people who don’t think those lives matter — the white nationalists whose support Donald Trump is ever more openly seeking to win a continuation of his presidency. The term “neo-Nazi” is euphemistic: There’s nothing neo about people who brandish the swastikas that are banned in today’s Germany....While ruthless in her condemnation of racist ideology, she suggests how that ideology becomes inseparable from a person’s sense of herself, and presents a strong case that comprehending this is crucial if we are to battle white supremacy.... Darby also underscores that all three women made choices. “It’s possible to acknowledge the rampant, persistent sexism of the far right while also giving women the credit they deserve. … We risk stripping them of responsibility when we suggest that the harm they do is merely a way of coping with their own oppression.”
Darby exposes the important roles that women play—and have played throughout history—in movements based on white nationalism and white supremacy....Journalist Darby, who also wrote the 2017 Harper’s story “Women of the Alt-Right,” rounds out these stories by placing them in history, showing how white women have played significant parts in hate movements including Nazism and the KKK. This book is eye-opening and incredibly timely.
ortraits of three contemporary American women and the movement that unites them: white supremacy. “Hate in America is surging,” writes Darby, editor-in-chief of the Atavist Magazine and former deputy editor of Foreign Policy. That assertion will surprise few, but the author’s thesis—“Women are the hate movement’s dulcet voices and its standard bearers”—is more eye-opening since “men are the far right’s most recognizable evangelists, and bombings, shootings and rallies are the most obvious manifestations of the movement’s strength.” While conducting research, the author learned that the assumption that “women likely wouldn’t fight against their own interests” was incorrect....Engaging, horrifying, and informative—Darby offers an important, fresh angle on the problems tearing our country apart.

I wish I were not writing this preface. The truth is that America is not well. And the sicker it gets, the more urgent the subject matter of Sisters in Hate becomes. -Preface to Paperback Edition
Once a battlefield, always a battlefield - so goes the story of this land. -Introduction, The Fun-House Mirror
When I met her, Corinna Olsen lived in a salmon-pink house with two balconies and a three-car garage. It wasn't her house; she rented a wing - a studio apartment - from an elderly woman who owned it. Her only roommate was a Japanese Chin, a small dog with silky fur and a lolling tongue. Corinna had adopted him off Craigslist because she wanted something cute to take care of. -Chapter 1, Part 1, Corinna
