Do you know this Appalachian ballad, “West Virginia Mine Disaster,” by female folk legend Jean Ritchie? This song, inspired by the disastrous Farmington/Mannington Mine Disaster in West Virginia in 1968, is told from the perspective of a miner’s wife. We hear her perspective as she receives the news that her husband may be trapped in a mine accident. Her thoughts race as she thinks about the fate of her family. Songs like these by Appalachian women give an important perspective often missing from our labor histories. In my Badass Women in Folk Song course (starting this week) we’ll get to explore working women’s songs of protest- and so much more! This is a 6 week course exploring songs from Scotland, England and Ireland about women/femmes/non-binary and trans folks who use their intellect, magic work, strength and humor to triumph in the face of patriarchy. We have two online cohorts you can join- learn more by going to the link in my bio! #appalachiansong #jeanritchie #womenoffolk #unionpower #unionrights #unionproud #solidarity #laborrights #appalachianmusic #workersrights #fairwages #unionhistory #appalachianfolk #womenswisdom #matriarchy #hermusic #womeninmusic #womenempowerment #womenoffolk #womensstruggles #womensrights #abortionstories #womenshistory #feministhistory #reproductiverights #feministmusic #bard #folksongs #abortionrights
