Because they're women with voices with the same range as male Baritones/Tenors. This is similar to a 'Counter-tenor', which is a male with a very, very high range.
The contralto voice classification is characterized by its rich, deep resonance and the lowest female vocal range, typically spanning from around E3 to E5. Contraltos often possess a dark, full timbre and excel in the lower registers, making them well-suited for roles in operas and choral works. Common terms associated with contraltos include "alto," "mezzo-soprano" (in relation to range), and "coloratura" when referring to agility in the voice, although true contraltos are less common in this style. Additionally, they are often noted for their ability to convey powerful emotions through their singing.

Contraltos or Altos are a lower sounding female voice in choral music. This is the range between Mezzo-Sopranos and Tenors (ususally men). They have a darker haunting sounded voice compared to the Coloratura (high) Soprano voice.

Etta James, Marian Anderson, Gladys Knight Wrong! Etta James and Gladys Knight are not contraltos; they are mezzo sopranos. Whoever wrote that needs to go back to music theory and voice training. I won't comment on Marian because I don't know who she is. As far as a dramatic contralto: Toni Braxton is the only famous dramatic contralto of any type that I can think of from the last few decades. A very famous coloratura contralto is Anita Baker. Contraltos are rare, so I hope you didn't expect a long list.
She is a contralto, one of very few true contraltos on the concert stage today.
