Hey gatekeepers, we’re still here!

Here’s the latest issue of Girl Crush Country, continuing our unwavering obsession with women in country music.

Let’s be real: the fight for women to get their rightful share of the airplay isn’t new. In fact, this week in country music history features one of the most infamous instances of genre gatekeeping. Check out the issue below for the story on the group of country purists who formed an entire association just to keep Olivia Newton-John out. (Note: Dolly Parton was actually one of them! Insert gasp here.) The group didn’t last, but unfortunately, the gatekeeping did.

Inside This Week’s Issue:
