The Ohio University Press Series in Ethnicity and Gender in Appala- chia is committed to publishing voices that traditionally have not been heard: those who experience life in Appalachia as social workers,hospice volun- teers,teachers,or neighborhood organizers.Beyond Hill and Hollow:Original Readings in Appalachian Women’s Studies bears witness to both the diversity and the community of these underrepresented voices.
