One of the most iconic female artists of the 20th century is Madonna. Born in Bay City, Michigan in 1958, Madonna began her career as a dancer and singer in the 1980s...

She quickly rose to fame with her unique blend of pop, dance, and electronic music, and her image and style were heavily influenced by her Catholic upbringing and the sexual revolution of the 1970s.
