Women Rock! Day is observed in the United States every January 3 to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of women in the rock music industry. The date commemorates Aretha Franklin's historic induction as the first female member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 3, 1987. Historically, rock music has been male-dominated, with all-female bands often viewed as novelties until the 1970s, when groups like Fanny began to achieve commercial success. The punk rock movement further opened doors for women in the late 1970s, leading to greater recognition in the 1980s with hits from artists like Joan Jett and the Go-Go's. To celebrate, people can read about influential female rock musicians, support their music, create playlists, and share the holiday on social media using the hashtag #WomenRockDay. Notable women in rock include Suzi Quatro, Joni Mitchell, Joan Jett, and Stevie Nicks, the latter of whom is unique for being inducted into the Hall of Fame twice.
