In the mid 1960s, with songs like “So Long Babe” and “How Does that Grab You, Darlin'?”, Nancy Sinatra took the image of a girl crying over her diary for a boy who wouldn’t behave and changed it to a woman who let her men know in no uncertain terms just how things were going to be.
“These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” kicked open the doors for a whole new category of women in music. Nancy’s tough girl attitude preceded women’s liberation and created the first rebel chick singer. Armed with a signature style, catchy songs and memorable album covers and photo spreads, Nancy hit the charts 22 times, becoming a role model for young, independent women as well as an icon of pop culture. The era of the woman rocker was born.
