“The Work of Women’s Hands” is an old-time Appalachian memory song inspired by family memories shared by my Aunties about their mother’s everyday work — canning, cookstove fires, root cellars, spring houses, butchering, blackberry picking, and the kind of labor that kept a family fed.
Created from real family memories from Preston County, West Virginia, this song honors the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and women before us whose work often went unrecorded, but never unremembered.
