Her Appalachia (website)
Cole, S., Rubin, S., York, A., Kiger, R., and L. Murrey (2018). Her Appalachia allows Appalachian women to tell our own identity stories. It allows us to address the role media archetypes play in our lives, and how our lives differ from these portrayals. We hope that this project gives mountain women a voice, allowing us to tell our own stories through audio clips and photographic portraits. This project is a companion piece to hillbilly, a documentary that examines media representation and Appalachian identity, lending a personal voice to a timely exploration of how we see and think about rural women.
