Membership in the KKK was limited to males. Women joined the Women of the KKK (WKKK). Daisy Douglas Barr was the Imperial Empress (leader) of the approximately 250,000 member WKKK in Indiana and seven other states in the early 1920s. Indiana itself was the major center of the KKK power, with about 25% of the total national membership. Barr, along with the Indiana KKK's "Grand Wizard," D.C. Stevenson, was considered responsible for electing a Klan-friendly governor in 1924.

In addition to her leadership in the WKKK, Barr was a powerful member of the WCTU. In her role in that organization, Daisy Barr was a famous crusader for temperance. As a member of the board of education in Indianapolis, she promoted racial segregation.
