Helen Maxine Reddy (born 25 October 1941) is an Australian singer, actor and activist. Born in Melbourne to a show-business family, Reddy started her career as an entertainer at age four. She sang on radio and television, and won a talent contest on a television programme Bandstand[a] in 1966 for a ticket prize to New York City and an unsuccessful record audition.
During the 1970s, she enjoyed international success, especially in the United States where she placed 15 singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Six made the Top 10 and three reached No. 1, including her signature hit 'I Am Woman'. She placed 25 songs on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart; 15 made the Top 10 and eight reached No.
Between the 1980s and 1990s, as her single I Can't Say Goodbye to You became her last to chart in the U.S., she acted in musical theatres and recorded a few albums such as Center Stage before retiring from live performance in 2002. She returned to university in Australia and earned her degree, and practised as a clinical hypnotherapist and motivational speaker.
Her song 'I Am Woman' played a large role in popular culture and became an anthem for second-wave feminism. She came to be known as a 'feminist poster girl' or a 'feminist icon'. In 2011, Billboard named her the No. 28 adult contemporary artist of all time (No. 9 woman). In 2013 the Chicago Tribune dubbed her as the 'Queen of '70s Pop'.
