In This Episode

What would turn a passionate, witty feminist into a xenophobic white nationalist? This week’s episode tells the story of Cordelia Scaife May, the eccentric heiress whose fortune underwrote both the Pittsburg Children’s Museum and the most influential network of immigration restrictionists in American history.
Our episode owes much to the New York Times’ investigative report on Scaife May last year, “Why an Heiress Spent Her Fortune Trying to Keep Immigrants Out”
