Loretta Lynn

1932 – 2022

Loretta Lynn was an American country music singer-songwriter whose six-decade career and self-penned autobiography Coal Miner's Daughter—adapted into a 1980 Oscar-winning film—made her one of the defining voices of post-war country music. Her unflinching songs about working-class women's lives, including "You Ain't Woman Enough," "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," and the contraception anthem "The Pill," repeatedly drew bans from country radio. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2003.
