When She’s So Unusual graced the shelves in 1983, young women around the globe were blessed with an extraordinary role model. However, this remarkable achievement almost never came to fruition. An unfortunate lawsuit stemming from her first band’s commercial failure led to Lauper’s bankruptcy. Yet, with her rebellious spirit and unwavering defiance, Cyndi shattered societal norms and transformed the perception of women in the world of pop music. She fearlessly challenged the impossible standards perpetuated by MTV and left an indelible mark on the industry. So significant was her debut album that it earned a place in the prestigious National Recording Registry in 2019. But Cyndi’s leadership qualities extend far beyond her musical prowess. As one of the LGBTQ+ community’s most trailblazing figures in the 80s, she has tirelessly fought for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States for decades, cementing her status as a true advocate for equality.
