About
‘Dear Dolly’ investigates how Parton dismantles stereotypes surrounding class and female representations through the singer’s music and appearance. As academic, Dr. James Barker argues ‘ Parton’s visual persona, is loaded with meaning. The ‘country girl’s idea of glam’ represents a class consciousness, taking middle class beauty standards and ideals and subjecting them to a working class lens.’
