Jolene Anderson is an Australian actress and singer.
Jolene Unsoeld was a three-term congresswoman from Washington whose opponents campaigned against her as a "radical environmentalist." Appropriately, her 2020 political memoir is titled, "What Are You Going to DO ABout It?" which feels only more applicable as environmental politics have changed in the last several decades.She was born Jolene Bishoprick in 1931. Her family was transient due to her father's job in timber; she spent portions of her childhood in Oregon, Washington state, and China. She attended Oregon State College, where she met William "Willi" Unsoeld. William Unsoeld was an environmental activist and mountaineer who was one of the very first to ascend the West Ridge of Mount Everest. The two married, and continued their passions for mountaineering. Unsoeld herself would claim climbing records in Wyoming.For much of their marriage, the Unsoelds spent time abroad. Willi Unsoeld served as a Peace Corps director in Nepal and spent much of the 1960s working for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Jolene Unsoeld served as director of an English-language institute while her husband served in USAID. The family returned to the United States in 1967, and settled in Olympia, Washington in 1970.It was at the state level that Jolene Unsoeld first engaged with politics. She described herself as a "citizen meddler." Her first triumph was in lobbying a 1972 bill that created the state's public disclosure act. She acted as the self-appointed watchdog for the act, and published two editions of a book called "Who Gave? Who Got? How Much?," which revealed major interest groups’ contributions to politicians in the Washington legislature.Tragedy marked much of this early period in politics. In September 1976, Unsoeld's 22-year-old daughter Nanda Devi died while climbing a Himalayan mountain after which she had been named. In March 1979, Unsoeld's husband Willi was killed in an avalanche while climbing Mt. Rainier. Unsoeld later wrote that it was her work in politics that gave her some solace from her grief, finding both purpose and distraction in it.In 1984, Unsoeld entered electoral politics, winning a seat in the state legislature. She became a specialist in environmental issues. EMILY's List founder Ellen Malcolm dubbed her the "conscience of the Washington state legislature."In 1988, Unsoeld was among the earliest women supported by EMILY'S List when she entered the race for a southwest Washington congressional seat. The largely blue-collar district was split almost evenly between moderates worried about jobs and environmental reformers. Unsoeld squeaked by the primary, but her chief rival made an impression by painting her as too liberal for the district. Her Republican opponent that fall would use that same line of attack. Again, Unsoeld squeaked by with a 618-vote margin of victory (of some 218,000 cast); her victory was declared after recounts more than a month after the election.Unsoeld's committee assignments reflected her lifelong interests: merchant Marine nad Fishers, Education and Labor, and the Select Committee on Aging. It was the first of these that was her primary animator. Her goal was to improve environmental law while protecting fishing and logging industries important to her district.This proved a delicate balancing act, and Unsoeld often struggled between the two camps. She pushed for money at one point to try and retrain former lumber workers after environmental restrictions she had supported threatened their line of work. She also got caught in the crosshairs of oil and gas industry actors, when she sought bans on their drilling off the Washington coast.Socially, Unsoeld was a progressive. Her first legislative action in Congress was signing onto a gay rights bill. She was anti-NAFTA, viewing it as bad for labor. She worked hard on the Freedom of Information Act.Unsoeld's environmentalism made her an endangered incumbent in 1990. That election became the state's most expensive congressional race to date. Unsoeld was targeted by the religious right and the tmber industry. Among the election issues was the federal response to save the endangered spotted owl and its habitat, which directly threatened the logging industry. Unsoeld supported the bird, while her opponent, Gomer Robert Williams, supported the industry. Unsoeld also angered her liberal supporters in the election when she was seen to waver on gun control legislation. Again the election was close, but Unsoeld won.Riding the Clinton administration's coattails in 1992, Unsoeld won a third victory by her largest margins.In 1994, however, things were more difficult. In addition to her environmental activism, she had opposed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the infamous "1994 Crime Bill." These things made her up for open attack.Unsoeld faced a bruising opne primary where a moderate Republican attacked her intensely, and then faced a far more conservative Republican in the general election. Linda Smith, a product of the Eagle Forum (the conservative organization found by Phyllis Schlafly), ended up winning on the coattails of the Newt Gingrich "Contract with America" Revolution. Smith got nasty, declaring that Unsoeld's own father was supporting Smith because she was too liberal. After leaving Congress, she spent some time teaching at the Harvard Institute of Politics.Unsoeld continued her activism from the private sector. She was appointed to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, but was rejected from re-appointment because she was too environmentalist. She was recognized by the Coalition for Open Government in 2008 for her lifelong efforts at government transparency.Unsoeld died in November 2021, just days before her 90th birthday.

My name is Jolene. I hate it, always have. And my middle name, Dawn, is awful and it rhymes with my married last name in a weird way. I am seriously considering changing my name, now in my late 30’s. I know it will be a hassle, but, might just be worth it. I am sung to ALL the time. It’s annoying and not cute.
I actually really like this name. It sounds pretty sophisticated.
Jolene is a very beautiful name! I won't say that I'd name my daughter this but I'd seriously consider it as a middle name! Either way it is lovely. I bet all anyone can think of when they hear this name is Dolly Parton's song, but I think that makes the name even cooler.
I think Jolie would be an awesome nickname for this name, however I'd rather it as a middle name rather than a first name.
All I can think of is Dolly's song. I would absolutely hate being stuck with this name!
Jolene will be the name of a very very VERY famous figure in the upcoming future, probably will be the most known and loved person in the universe alongside the likes of none other than Jesus himself! I'm dead serious. She is the woman of Song of Solomon, the warrior bride, she is wisdom, she is loved by all, the one that conquers, she is also kind, loving and meek, she cares and fights for those she loves, she also never gives up. Watch this space;-) and don't forget this name.All in all I love this name and it is beautiful.
To all the Jolene’s out there...you're stunning! And be proud of your name.
It is so adorable *squeals*. I love "country" names. And there's the Dolly Parton song which is totally catchy.
I don't like made-up names and Jolene is no exception.
My name is Jolene as well. Haha I’ve had the same song sung to me as you could guess like most people here and I’ve had a hard time growing up with it but I appreciate it so much more now and I love it because it’s unique and made me who I am. I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t of thought there were many Jolene’s out there.
I personally think Jolene is a very beautiful name and it sounds very feminine with the -ene suffix. Perfect as a middle name for a girly girl or tomboy who has a boy’s name as her first name. I don’t think this name deserves hate ever. I don’t find it trashy at all! It’s unique and elegant for a girl!
Jolene-Jolene Joleeeeeeeeene that what comes to mind.
I must say that I have never cared for this name. It just never peaked my interest and plus the song "Jolene" sung by ANY artist is a song that I just despise despite the praise it has garnered. It's hard to think of the name without that song coming into mind.
My name is also Jolene, I have a very determined and gutsy personality. I always wondered about my name, because everywhere I go people will sing and it always made me feel funny, but when I finally heard and understood what the meaning is behind the lyrics of the song it made me think and ask a lot of questions. Firstly, I thought what was my father thinking when he gave me that name! It actually makes me feel like this lady who always gets what she wants, even if it doesn't belong to me, but really that's not me at all, so that song puts me a bit off, but now I understand a bit and I just smile it off and it doesen't bother me at ALL... I am so proud of my name and wouldn't change it for anything.
I'm British and my name is Joleen. I like my name and once you get used to people bursting out the lyrics to you every 25 seconds, you appreciate that it can be an ice breaker. I am not a redneck, nor do I steal other people's men, I know about 4 other Joleen's and they all have good jobs (make of that what you will).
My Name Is Jolene. I love my name and I remember when I was litle I would hear the song by Dolly Parton and run and tell my mom "My song's on" And she (my mom) would look at me and smile and say "yes Honey" Personally I believe our name is a form Of Joesph. But I would not change my name for the life of me and yes, everyone I meet sings the song by Dolly to me and I love it! It's the name my parents gave me and I love them and my name.
Jolene Brand is an American actress, active mostly in the '50s and '60s. She is perhaps best known for her work on Ernie Kovacs' comedy shows.
I can't help but think of the catchy song Jolene by Dolly Parton whenever I hear this name BUT I do I love the name Jolene! It's cute, gorgeous, sweet & pretty.
Jolene is also my name. I find this all very interesting to say the least. I'm a DJ and someone gave me the stage name Jojo. But I've always loved my name. It's unique and I always get a smile when I tell someone my name- male or female. I also get the old classic Dolly song sung to me ALOT. I personally think it's a good catchy song but really hate the fact that the name is being bagged and pleaded to not take someone's man. Damn home wrecker. Lol, but I just love the Jolene song done by Ray.. beautiful song. Sad but I'd rather hear that one than the other any day. I know Jolene is too new to be from the Bible but where it originated from (Joseph), that's close enough for me to take the Biblical meaning to heart a bit. And it makes sense. I'm very much just like that. To those of you who don't agree with saying it's Biblical, think of it this way. Joseph is like the great great great grandpa to Jolene. That would be like saying your background is a lie. (LIKE I'm part Scottish, Native French Canadian and Canadian) but I never stepped foot in Scotland so just because I wasn't alive when my great grandparents were that means I don't have a bit of Scottish in me? Wrong! I take pride in my background along with my name :) By the way, sandy blond, blue/green eyes. Oh and I'm sorry to anyone that has come across a mean or nasty Jolene. It's a shame that ruined the name for you. But remember not one person is the same so try not to dwell and hold on to that. The next Jolene you meet could be your Bff, lol.
My name is Jolene too! I thought I was the only one with this name until I met a lady that I worked with, she also had this name. Some of y'all are rather cruel by saying ugly stuff about our name. I actually like my name and think it's pretty. My hair is brown and my eyes are sea blue but I haven't stolen anyone's man. Lol! Btw... I like Dolly Parton too!
My name is Jolene. At first I did not like my own name, but now I will never change it. I don't care, it comes off a song (Dolly) and yes I have brown hair, green eyes and believe me, I'm not ugly. I love my name :)
My name is Jolene too! I thought I was the only one with the Jolene name. Now I feel better I'm not the only one people sing it to! ^_^
I read a lot of comments that it is a hillbilly or redneck name. I've never heard that before. Everyone has always told me it was a pretty name. (my name is Jolene) people used to sing the Dolly Parton song to me. It used to bug me but not anymore, I rather like it now! ^_^
Well I've never heard of the Dolly Parton song, but I do know a very pretty song by Ray Lamontagne called Jolene. I'm still indifferent on the name though.
What a horrible, ugly redneck name.
I love Dolly Parton, but all I can think of is "man-stealing slut" when I hear this name. Sorry, folks.
"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jo-leeeeene, I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man..."
I'm sorry, but the Dolly Parton song is ALL I can think of. The name is so pretty, and I wish I could hear the name without singing that song in my head, but I can't.
Jolene is also the title of a song by the Weepies.
Ahh, Jolene is one of my guilty pleasures. It's very, very pretty, but it's also very modern and most people have the impression that this name is for hicks only. It reminds me of the White Stripes' cover of Dolly Parton's song, as I've never heard the original.
I always thought this name was fit for a beautiful but wicked woman with "flaming locks of auburn hair, with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green."
It's always seemed "mystical" or magical to me, and it is so, so very pretty.
My friend has the same name but it's spelled differently. Her name is spelled Jolenne. I think it is an awesome name and really pretty.
All I think of is that Dolly Parton song everything I hear this name.
I cannot hear this name without thinking of Dolly Parton's song! It's a pretty name but not on my 'future daughter's name' list. It sounds like a lady who wears a red business suit with thick rimmed red glasses to match and always has her medium blonde hair in a bun.
I knew someone who pronounced it more like the French word jolie, ZHO-lene.
This sounds like the name of a beautiful, yet very dumb and naive country girl with long, dark brown hair.
It can be used as a form of "Josephine."
A famous bearer is actress Jolene Blalock, born 5 March 1975, San Diego, California.
"Jolene" is a Ray Lamontagne song.
Jolene is a modern creation and has nothing to do with the Bible. (says the agnostic - but anyway it is pretty, but stop getting these ideas that EVERY name is religious!)
As pertaining to the last comment, Jolene is fairly modern or maybe it has existed prior but there were not as many records. But Jolene does seem to have originated from Joe or Joseph. Since Jo comes from Joseph or Josephine. Joseph is from the bible so that's probably where they're getting it from. And I like this name but I don't like names that end with lene or een.
It's a relatively new name, I don't think it existed prior to the 20th century and it's definitely not Biblical. It's origins ARE probably with Joseph and its variants, but names DERIVED from Biblical names are not Biblical in themselves.
I despise names that end in lene, even though I have a family member with the name Jolene.
My name is Jolene, and I've always thought of it as unique but very plain, almost even dismissable. From what I have gathered, it means "he/the Lord will increase;" however, someone else commented saying it meant "she will increase," and women with this name strive for their best until they reach that goal. That is so entirely me. I'm a senior in high school and have always killed myself to reach a sort or perfection. I also believe that I like it spelled better as "Joleen." To me, it looks more feminine. Neither are very fun to write. They're kind of dull.
I knew someone once with this name and she wasn't a very nice person at all, kind of turned me off this name.
The White Stripes (with Jack White singing) cover Dolly Parton's song "Jolene".
Other than the biblical definition, Jolene has also been derived from the French word "jolie", which means pretty.
'Jolene' is a famous song by the fantastic Dolly Parton!
Actually this is my name and I have recently been trying to find out its meaning. From what I have found it seems to have originated from the Bible and the name JOSEPH, which is my fathers name, and it is said to mean God shall add and she who shall increase.
I have come to find that this name means God shall add and she who shall increase. I have heard from friends who believe this means that a person who has this name will strive for their best until they finally reach their goal. I believe it means the person will see the good in things and through it all still strive to better herself as a person until she has reached her best, probably because that's what I try to do. Still, I guess we will all have our own impression of everything because no two people think exactly alike all of the time. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.
