Hide Profile

The Women of the Ku Klux Klan (WKKK) became a branch of the KKK in the 1920s. This was a compromise to include women into their secret societies and retain the all male status of the KKK. There were a few predecessors to the WKKK such as LOTIEs (Ladies of the Invisible Empire) and the Kamelia's. However, the WKKK had the largest following of the women Klan groups.
