Evelyn McDonnell, LMU professor of journalism and new media, commented on whether the late singer, Dolly Parton, was a feminist. “She took the objectification of being a pop star and embraced it … It was like her magic cloak — she could be saying feminist things and doing feminist things and modeling a life and a voice that was outspoken, progressive, political. But you saw the package and you’re like, ‘Oh, okay.’ It made it safe.”
