![]() ![]() She did this through clever and witty songwriting and lyrical techniques that combined the vernacular of her audience with her resonant voice. Specifically, for a generation of predominantly white women in the 1960s and 1970s who did not identify as urban or college-educated feminists, Lynn’s music offered candid conversations about their private lives as wives and mothers.Īs Lynn stated in her autobiography, her audience recognized her as a “mother and a wife and a daughter, who had feelings just like other women.” It railed against those who idealized women’s domestic roles and demonized outspoken feminists. She aimed for her music to articulate the fears, dreams and anger of women living in a patriarchal society. Lynn’s songs defied societal expectations by connecting her musical representations of working-class and rural women to broader social issues affecting women across the U.S. In contrast, Lynn’s songwriting continued the legacy of Kitty Wells, Jean Shepard and other women in country music who were willing to speak up about the concerns of American women. It was a time when Merle Haggard’s “ Okie from Muskogee,” with its attacks on counterculture, marijuana and draft-card burning, became a populist anthem for the country’s cultural conservatives.

She grew up in poverty in a small Kentucky mining town, marrying and starting a family as a teenager before reaching unprecedented heights of commercial success as a recording artist of modern country music.īut as a scholar of gender and country music and author of “ Hillbilly Maidens, Okies, and Cowgirls: Women’s Country Music, 1930-1960,” I know that Lynn represented more than just star power and fame in country music – she spoke to the concerns of women, especially white working-class women in rural and suburban America. Her dramatic life story – retold in the 1980 award-winning film “ Coal Miner’s Daughter,” based on Lynn’s 1976 biography – made Lynn a household name. ** Single print order can either print or save as PDF.This story also appeared in The Conversation If the icon is greyed then these notes can not be transposed.
