Sobre IBD

Behind one of the most notorious movements in American history stood a force long ignored, underestimated, and deliberately obscured: women.The Secret Sisterhood is a gripping, deeply researched narrative that uncovers the hidden world of the women who fueled the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, organizing, recruiting, fundraising, and wielding influence in ways that reshaped communities and the nation itself. Far from passive bystanders, these women built vast networks of power under the banner of morality, patriotism, and tradition, while advancing an agenda rooted in exclusion and control.Blending vivid storytelling with sharp historical insight, this book brings to life the ambitions, contradictions, and calculated strategies of a sisterhood operating in plain sight. It reveals how they mobilized millions, infiltrated politics, and normalized extremist ideology within everyday American life, leaving a legacy that still echoes today.Provocative, eye-opening, and impossible to ignore, The Secret Sisterhood challenges what we think we know about power, gender, and history. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how influence is built, and how it endures in the shadows.Some stories were never meant to be forgotten. This is one of them.
