Uncovering Appalachia’s Hidden Heroines: Pauletta Hansel Reveals Untold Stories in Understory
In revealing generations of women whose experiences have only been glimpsed within others’ narratives, Understory is not simply one family’s story — bit a microcosm of the history of all Appalachian, and dare I say — all women?
Please join me in conversation with Pauletta Hansel, as we delve into this complex, hybrid picture of America’s past and present, a glimmering pot of genealogy, memoir, and poetry.
Leslie Lindsay: Pauletta, it’s a joy and delight to connect. Thank you for taking the time. I love the title, Understory, and while I know what your intention with the title was (because I read it in the book), I want to hear it from you, how you settled on this particular lens.
