Who do you think was the greatest female musician of the 2othC and why?

It does not have to be somebody from the US.

I would nominate Maria Callas because she changed how opera was performed was simply the quality if the voice to the total performance and emotional involvement in the character.

Possibly Joni Mitchell for being a poet when it comes to lyrics and music.

Madonna for not taking a **** and doing it her way no matter others said. And She did the whole sexuality things in a much classier way than todays pop tarts.

Or Mavis Staples for all her work in civil and human rights.

Dolly Parton for being a songwriter/singer/entertainer/...

entrepreneur/business woman

Evelyn Glennie for revolutionizing the way we think about learning and playing music as well as being a deaf musician who can play over forty kinds of percussive instruments.

Ofra Haza for defying her poverty and become a cutural hero and icon to the people of Israel.

The same for Edith Piaf and Celia Cruz!

There are a lot of good choices but I want to hear your opinions
