I'm surprised at myself for not making this list sooner, but I keep finding so many new songs that I figured it would be worth the wait. Some of these songs will be iconic classics while others may have you finding a new tune to fill your eardrums.

1. Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monae feat. Erykah Badu

2. I'm Not Your Toy by La Roux

3. 6 Inch by Beyoncé

I really tried to limit myself to only one Beyoncé song for this list, but that is so hard because she is the undisputed queen of female empowerment. Everybody knows If I Were a Boy and Who Run the World (girls), and Flawless so I decided to include an underrated song from Lemonade.
