The Greatest Female Musicians of All Time

In the 21st century, women are playing a dynamic role in the music world as singers, songwriters, instrumentalists, composers, and conductors. However, this has not always been the case. Even until the 20th century, women were significantly underrepresented in music, and hordes of musically-inclined women struggled to make a place for themselves in the male-dominated world of music. Despite the challenges faced by women musicians, several gutsy performers have persevered to enrich the music scene with their soulful contributions.
