"I still believe that women should get paid equal and should be treated with respect. I’m all about that. I don’t get out and have to preach it or march in the streets, I write about it."— Dolly Parton
Known for her historic library of country music classics (she’s written about 3,000 songs herself, including “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “9 to 5”) her flamboyant outfits, and her own breed of philanthropy and activism, Dolly Parton has been a hero to many young girls and women for decades now. In an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, she made clear her stance on equal pay and gender equality — just in case anyone had any doubts about where she stood. Parton has long been known to steer clear of talking politics in a public setting, but that doesn’t mean she’s been any less effective at inspiring action from generations of women.
