Ahhh, the '70s; when disco globes spun like planets, platforms reached the heavens, and divas didn’t whisper... they roared.
These weren’t just stars, they were Queen Bees, buzzing louder than any rock band and commanding every room like it was their personal runway. They glittered under stage lights, ruled radio airwaves, and made glamour feel like a revolutionary act.
From soul sisters belting anthems of survival to silver screen sirens who turned vulnerability into power, these women didn’t ask for the spotlight, they owned it. They gave us sass, sequins, and stories we still tell at dinner parties. Whether they were burning bras, setting charts on fire, or stealing every scene in sight, they shaped a decade (and our memories) with every fierce flick of eyeliner and mic drop.
