She come by it natural : Dolly Parton and the women who lived her songs

Summary: Growing up amid Kansas wheat fields and airplane factories, Smarsh witnessed firsthand the vulnerabilities and strengths of women in working poverty. Meanwhile, country songs by female artists played in the background, telling powerful stories about life, men, hard times, and surviving. Country music was a language among women-- and no one provided that language better than Dolly Parton.

She shows how Parton's song offer a springboard to examining the intersections of gender, class, and culture.--
