Sadly, they’ve lost some of their vitality. Both derived much of their energy from the wave of immigrants who came to Australia after the Second World War. In Lygon Street, Italian immigrants opened small businesses and THE 2021 brought Italian food culture, and especially the espresso, to Melbourne and Australia. They attracted the university and arts communities and made fertile ground for places STELLA PRIZE such as Readings, La Mama Theatre, the Poppy Shop and Professor Longhair’s Music Shop to grow. Iconic businesses with an Italian heritage such as Donati’s, King & Godfree, SHORTLIST Jimmy Watson’s, Bottega Tasca and Tiamo still continue and have been joined by D.O.C. CELEBRATING AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S WRITING In St Kilda, the Jewish refugees escaping from the horror of the Holocaust tried to recreate a bit of the society they had lost in the safety of the wide tree-lined walkway of Acland Street, opening cafés and delicatessens where they could gather and meet and endlessly argue and shop. The most famous was Café Scheherazade that was immortalised in Arnold Zable’s beautiful book of the same name. The delicious food and the European exoticness also attracted the Australian community to Acland Street, as well as the thrills of Luna Park. It was no accident that the Melbourne Film Festival made its home in St Kilda’s grand Palais Theatre in the 1960s and 1970s, and its first director, Erwin Rado, was a Hungarian of Jewish descent. In 1960, Gerhard Sawatzky, another European, opened Cosmos Bookshop which later became Readings St Kilda. But today, if you walk down Acland Street, there are only a few signs left of its heritage. Monarch Cakes survives as does the Europa Cake Shop. Readings (formerly Cosmos) is still there, as is the wonderful Cicciolina a few doors up. What is notable about these streets now is the number of vacant shops; just a few weeks ago the café Trotters closed after almost 40 years in Lygon Street. Some of the shops have been vacant for two or three years. I often wonder why these great streets are going through such a rough patch now.

Key words: Loretta Lynn, Van Leer Rose, Country Music, Content Analysis, Textual Analysis This is a peer- reviewed essay. Abstract The release of Loretta Lynn‟s 2004 album Van Leer Rose welcomed back after 33 years one of the premier feminist voices in recorded music. The songs that Loretta wrote in 60s and early 70s were some of the most controversial and politically charged to hit the airwaves. They encompassed a microcosm of issues that rural women were facing including the changing sexual roles of women, ideas on marriage, the ravages of war and substance abuse.

Yet her lyrics command attention by directly addressing the hardships of being a wife and mother in the modern world.

The second of eight children, Loretta Webb was born on April 14, 1932, in the family’s cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler, Kentucky. Her father was indeed a coal miner, as well as a farmer, while her mother tended to the growing family. After the record was pressed, the Lynns sent copies to radio stations across the country. Then they dropped in on disc As a teenager, she married a young army veteran, Oliver jockeys along their route from California to Nashville to “Doolittle” Lynn, and they moved to Washington state so find out which stations were playing the song.

Her husband, though, was impressed with Lynn’s singing around the house, and he began to make bigger plans for When Lynn’s career took off in the 1960s, she was raising her. He bought her a guitar, which she taught herself to play, six children with a husband who was known to cheat on her.

    Loretta Lynn’s Lyrics Parker Loretta Lynn's Lyrics: Songwriting for Women and the Working Class JEWEL CARRIE PARKER Abstract: This article argues that country music singer, Loretta Lynn, performed songs reflective of women’s issues throughout the second wave feminist movement. However, Lynn did not identify as a feminist; she believed mainstream feminism ignored working-class issues. Her beliefs, conveyed in her lyrics, reflected her working-class experiences during her childhood, marriage to Doolittle Lynn, and musical career. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Lynn performed songs supportive of women who lived in poverty, endured abusive spousal relationships, and observed the significance of traditional working-class gender roles. Though Lynn did not always agree with feminist thought, her songs reflected pro-feminist perspectives, including demanding men’s respect for women and women’s access to birth control. Her ability to write songs about working-class women’s lives increased her female fan base and ultimately contributed to her success as a country music star. This article analyzes Lynn’s lyrical messages and contributes to the scholarship of country music history by providing a detailed account of how music affected working-class women. This work also describes what working-class women thought of the feminist movement. Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter I remember well, the well where I drew water The work we done was hard At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler.1 These nostalgic words belong to country music star Loretta Lynn. Lynn worked her way to stardom as a singer and songwriter at the urging of her husband Doolittle Lynn.
