Blending personal essay with cultural criticism, Melnick delves into Parton's dual identities as a feminist icon and an objectified sex symbol, reflecting her own fraught history with rape culture and the arduous work of reclaiming her voice. Each chapter engages with the artistry and impact of one of Parton's songs, as Melnick reckons with violence, misogyny, creativity, parenting, friendship, sex, love, and the consolations and cruelties of religion. Bold and inventive, \"I've Had to Think Up a Way to Survive\" gives us an accessible and memorable framework for understanding our times and a revelatory account of survival, persistence, and self-discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 140 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781477322673\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynn Melnick","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44095752339706,"sku":"9781477322673","price":12.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1668175706780_book.jpg?v=1668410017","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ive-had-to-think-up-a-way-to-survive-on-trauma-persistence-and-dolly-parton-9781477322673","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
