Janis Joplin's Porsche in the memorabilia collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Women in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are rare compared to the number of their male counterparts. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a hall of fame for the most important and influential musicians, producers and personalities in the field of rock 'n' roll, including rock music . In addition to numerous men, the list of members also includes women and women bands as well as mixed bands with women.
Originally there were four categories for admission into the Hall of Fame: "performers", "non-performers", "early influences" and "lifetime achievement". In 2000, the "Sidemen" category was also introduced. Recording can take place at the earliest 25 years after an artist's first record or CD was released. Within the categories, women are mainly to be found among the performers, although they appear both as individual artists and as members of various bands. There are also some women who were included in the “Early Influences” category, as well as a few “non-interpreters”. The latter are mainly songwriters, with all three honored women in this category being recorded together with a man with whom they work. Until 2019, no women were accepted in the “Lifetime Achievement” and “Sidemen” categories.
The first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was Aretha Franklin in 1987. The only woman to be inducted multiple times was Stevie Nicks ; she has been recognized both as a band member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist.
