Loretta Lynn was an American singer and songwriter who spent almost six decades in country music. She was also known as “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Her mettlesome vocals and bold lyrics made her a queen of country music.
She built her stardom around music that spoke fearlessly about women’s struggles at a time when country music was often marginalized and women’s rights were suppressed. One can witness village pride and determination in her music.
She took feminism forward in a way that no one could imagine. She tried to give women’s rights a direction through her genre of music which was the hardest part of it. Not only her music but the way she lived her life was also outstanding. She was an inspiration and role model to so many of us and will always remain one.
