Feminist icon Helen Reddy dies

Helen Reddy, the Australian singer behind feminist anthem 'I Am Woman', has died aged 78, Variety reports. Reddy said she had penned the lyrics for the song - with lines such as "I am woman, hear me roar" and "I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman" - after struggling to find other songs which reflected her pride in being a woman. A sleeper hit, it went on to sell millions of copies worldwide, making Reddy the biggest-selling female artist globally for two years running. Also, she became prominent in the women's liberation movement. Her first hit, 'I Don't Know How to Love Him', was followed by a succession of others including 'Crazy Love', 'Delta Dawn', and 'Angie Baby'.
