HARD HITTING LYRICS IN "A WOMAN'S RIGHT"

Dolly is well known as a brilliant songwriter and lyricist, and she delivers some hard-hitting lines in this new song:

"They said a woman’s place / Was staying in her hut / Washin’, cookin’, cleanin’ / Wipin’ babies' butts,"

As a woman who has climbed the ladder of success all the way from a poverty-stricken childhood in Tenessee, Dolly Parton surely knows the sweet taste of hard-won women's rights.

Would any Dolly Parton fan be surprised to discover that she is the most successful of all the country stars?

Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks may have a net worth of $200 million and $150 million respectively, but Parton is worth a whopping $500 million.

The 72-year-old country singer not only recorded some of the highest-selling country albums of all time, but she also starred in hit movies and television programs including “9 to 5,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Rhinestone,” and “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas,” opposite the recently deceased Burt Reynolds.

Parton is the owner of a theme park in Sevier County, in her native Tennessee called Dollywood. Her theme park is now one of the South’s most profitable tourist attraction.
