Second Klan through the lens of gender

write a blog which assess MacLean’s argument for seeing the Second Klan through the lens of gender as well as through that of race. Why does she argue for the importance of a gendered analysis of the movement? How convincing is her argument? How is gender linked to race on her reading? Finally, in what way does her unique reading support her conclusions about the politics of terror and her linking the Second Klan to fascists movements in Europe?
