Abstract
The role of racist women in hate groups remains an underdeveloped area of research, although scholars have suggested that female participation in such groups may vary among the different ideologies of the organizations. One method for exploring this research question involves examining the hate groups’ propaganda. The internet has become an increasingly popular method for distributing propaganda, thus the purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the propaganda targeted towards women on hate group websites. A content analysis was conducted on the websites of hate groups identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The results indicate that of 19 websites containing propaganda targeted towards women, almost all of them highlighted traditional gender roles, primarily the woman’s role in educating and raising an Aryan family, as their primary contribution to the movement. Some groups emphasized secondary roles and the implications of the propaganda push are discussed.
