Women's Roles in Twentieth Century Appalachia
Laura Dumin began this project with the intent to learn more about the property that is now known as the Selu Conservancy, but in the process of doing it, she noticed and became interested in the way that even when she specifically asked about women or women’s experiences, she inevitably heard about men and their experiences instead. This inspired her to make her project about Appalachian women and how they are perceived by people in the Appalachian region. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.- Creator
