Pop star Pat Benatar was big in the '80s with singles "Love Is a Battlefield" and "Hit Me with Your Best Shot." She was (and still is) an icon for female empowerment.

Tiffany was the original mall diva. She made it big with her cover of "I Think We're Alone Now." She also garnered headlines for dating Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block.
Since her huge success in the 1980s, Tiffany has appeared in SyFy original films and reality shows like "Celebrity Wife Swap" and "Celebrity Fit Club." She also appeared in Playboy.
Lita Ford just released a new album in November 2013 and is following in fellow Runaway Cherie Currie's footsteps and releasing her memoir, which will be out September 9, 2014.
