\n\tOf the 17 people (15 individuals and a duo) who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in its inaugural year, 1986, would you care to venture a guess how many were women? We\u2019re looking at all inductees \u2013 performers, non-performers and early influences.<\/p>\n

\n\tWould you believe: none?<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s true that most of the most vital artists from rock and roll\u2019s early years were men \u2014 Elvis Presley<\/a>, Chuck Berry<\/a>, Little Richard<\/a> and more. But it\u2019s not like there were no women to choose from. Many women who have subsequently been inducted could have been inducted that first year (meaning they had been active for at least 25 years at that point).<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd that wasn\u2019t the only time that women were shut out of the Rock Hall\u2019s annual class of inductees. It has happened five subsequent times, most recently in 2016. But the Rock Hall has since seen the light and is working toward gender parity. With Cyndi Lauper<\/a>, Meg White<\/a> of The White Stripes<\/a>, Salt-N-Pepa<\/a> and bass guitarist Carol Kaye\u00a0set to be inducted later this year, this will be the ninth consecutive year that women have been invited to rock and roll\u2019s annual party.<\/p>\n

\n\tListed chronologically by each year\u2019s class, here are all the women to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All were inducted as performers unless otherwise designated. Likewise, all were inducted as individuals unless otherwise designated. Three women \u2013 Stevie Nicks<\/a>, Carole King<\/a> and Tina Turner<\/a> \u2013 have been inducted twice. (So too have 24 men.)<\/p>\n
