There was a time in the history of pop music where women were at a definite disadvantage if they chose to have children at the height of their careers. It took many decades and some fierce advocates but things have changed.

Mothers in the modern era of music have shown us how fierce and talented they are and it seems motherhood makes them even bolder. Moms in music have given us some exciting memories.

Here are five memorable moments in music from superstar moms:
