Dolly Parton is one of the most iconic and beloved figures in country music history. Her songs have touched the lives of countless people around the world, and her story is one of inspiration and resilience.

But behind the glitz and glamour, there's a group of women whose stories have been largely untold: the women who inspired Dolly Parton's songs.

In her new book, "Dolly Parton and the Women Who Lived Her Songs," author Sarah Smarsh tells the stories of these women. She delves into the lives of Jolene, the woman who inspired Parton's hit song of the same name; Loretta Lynn, the singer-songwriter who Parton has always admired; and many others.

These women's stories are as diverse as Parton's songs themselves. Some are stories of triumph, while others are stories of heartbreak. But all of them are stories of resilience.

Smarsh's book is a fascinating look at the women who have shaped Dolly Parton's music. It's a story of empowerment, resilience, and the power of music to connect us all.

Here are some of the women featured in the book:

• Jolene: The woman who inspired Parton's hit song of the same name. Jolene was a beautiful woman who worked at a bank. Parton was immediately drawn to her, and she couldn't help but imagine what Jolene's life was like.
• Loretta Lynn: The singer-songwriter who Parton has always admired. Lynn is a pioneer in country music, and her songs have inspired countless women. Parton has said that Lynn is one of her "biggest heroes."
• Kitty Wells: The first female country singer to have a hit record on the Billboard charts. Wells' song "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" was a groundbreaking hit, and it helped pave the way for other women in country music.
• Tammy Wynette: The "First Lady of Country Music." Wynette's songs often dealt with the hardships of being a woman, and her music resonated with millions of fans. Parton has said that Wynette is one of her "favorite singers."
• Patsy Cline: The country music legend who died tragically in a plane crash in 1963. Cline's songs are still beloved by fans around the world, and her death was a major loss for country music.

These are just a few of the many women who have inspired Dolly Parton's music. Their stories are a testament to the power of the human spirit, and they are a reminder that we are all connected through the music we love.
