Homes & Honky Tonks: Post WWII Women in Country

Singer-songwriter Almeda Bradshaw examines the ways in which honky-tonk music became the voice of working-class country folk, exposing the loneliness and alienation they felt as they coped with the stress and adjustments of life after the atomic bomb. 1950s suburban conformity, meant to help normalize the family unit, only contributed to feelings of victimization for both men and women. Examine how PTSD, then unrecognized, contributed to the dysfunction of families and learn how Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and others responded in their songs to the social changes of post-World War II America.
