Loretta Lynn, The Non-Feminist Feminist Of Country, Dies At 90.
Loretta Lynn’s bold and open-hearted voice cut through the din of the honky tonk, the distortion of the AM radio dial and the oppressive silence that protected post-War sexism. That voice was silenced on Tuesday morning when the iconic artist died at the age of 90 at her home in Hurricane Mills, TN, but she leaves a legacy of candor, empathy, courage and resilience that influenced American music and culture as much as any singer-songwriter born in the 20th century.
