SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLEThe world can't seem to get enough of Dolly Parton. Her image is blazoned across T-shirts, she burns on desks as blasphemous candles, and well into her seventies she continues to grace awards stages, arenas and talk shows where women of a certain age are rarely seen.Yet not so long ago, Dolly was best known by many people as the punch line of a boob joke. So, what happened?In this affectionate, sharply insightful book, Sarah Smarsh charts Dolly's meteoric rise against the backdrop of her working-class roots. Drawing on her own experience growing up in rural Kansas, Smarsh crafts a resonant portrait of Parton's cultural importance, above all for the often-unheard women who populate her songs: struggling mothers, pregnant teenagers, diner waitresses with deadbeat boyfriends. Candid, intimate and searching, She Come By It Natural captures the enduring appeal of this singular star.

From Dodge City to Abilene and beyond, Kansas in its early years was one fine place for outlaws, and one of the most violent places in America's history. Consider the exploits of Jesse James—a sociopathic killer or a Robin Hood who redistributed Union wealth? Or those of Big Nose Kate, whose true identity was much nobler than her reputation as Doc Holliday's longtime companion. That's not to mention the dangerous inmate who became the learned Bird Man of Kansas—a renowned canary expert whose life story became a hit film. All this and more is yours for the reading in Outlaw Tales of Kansas, which introduces fifteen of the most dramatic events, and the most daring and despicable desperados, in the history of the Sunflower State.

"--- en superintressant analytisk bok om countrystjärnan---"Jan Gradvall, DI

"Klarsynt och underhållande om fenomenet Dolly Parton"Kenneth Gysing, Femina

"Biografin om Dolly Parton något utöver det vanliga"Fokus

Genom låtar som ”Jolene” och ”9 to 5” har Dolly Partons i årtionden synliggjort kvinnor som sällan hörs: vita arbetarklasskvinnor i den amerikanska södern. Partons karriär är en osannolik resa från akut fattigdom i Tennessee, i huset hon växte upp saknades el och hade utedass på gården, till stjärnstatus i Nashville och Hollywood. Hon är en av världens mest produktiva låtskrivare, hon har skrivit över 3000 låtar, har haft 25 Billboardettor och vunnit tio Grammys. Hon är flerfaldigt Oscarsnominerad, driver nöjesparken Dollywood i sin hemstat och är en viktig filantrop. I Dolly Parton och kvinnorna som levde hennes låtar utforskar Sarah Smarsh Partons kulturella inflytande. Parton tog tidigt kontroll över bilden av sig själv och sin karriär. Hon spelade medvetet på bilden som sexsymbol, och lyfte fram en mer handfast sorts kvinnokamp grundad i fattiga kvinnors levnadsvillkor, långt från universiteten och politiken.
