I have met so many influential women in my life that help me remember the woman that I currently am and am becoming. However, when said women aren't there to give you their words of wisdom, allow these powerful women in the music industry to remind you of how amazing you are. Music can help pump you up no matter what kind of mood in. And, there is nothing more exciting that can put you in a fabulous mood other than empowering songs about women, written and sang by women.
"Joan of Arc" - Little Mix
Honey, you don't need a man. You are strong, beautiful, and independent all by yourself. A man will not make your life complete — only you can make your life complete.
"Rise Up" - Andra Day
You are enough and worthy of everything good. You will make it through whatever is beating you down at the moment as it will not last forever. But, the amazing woman that these hardships are molding you into will last forever. Cherish her.
"Run the World (Girls)" - Beyoncé
A true classic by Queen Bey herself. If someone ever tells you that you can't do something because you're a woman, refer to the song above. Who runs the world?
"Heartbeat Song" - Kelly Clarkson
You should never be afraid to get out there and shoot your shot. You have absolutely nothing to lose. If someone doesn't see you for who you are — a powerful, amazing, gorgeous woman — then it's their loss and time to move on.
"You Don't Own Me" - Grace
This is your life, not anyone else's. No one owns you, even when you're in a committed relationship, married, etc. You are still your own individual woman. Don't forget that.
"Man! I Feel Like a Woman" - Shania Twain
I hope that you ALWAYS feel like a woman and never let anyone dull that spark. Being a woman is a beautiful thing that we should all love and embrace.
"Truth Hurts" - Lizzo
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT EVER let a man tell you what you are and what you aren't worth. You don't need that man or anyone like that in your life because you live life for you, not anyone else. Embrace the single girl life. Or if you're in a relationship, embrace that too but don't forget who you truly are as a woman.
"Just a Girl" - No Doubt
A song with a great message. Girls and women can do anything. We shouldn't let anything hold us or set us back, especially stereotypes. Embrace your individuality.
"Power" - Little Mix
YOU! Yes, YOU have the POWER. You have the power to live your life the way YOU want to and be who you want to be. You're the only person guaranteed at the end of the day, so why shouldn't the power be in your own hands?
"Fight Song" - Rachel Platten
Deviance is not something to look down upon plus to simply embrace. Break the norms and the stereotypical views of what a woman should and shouldn't be. Why? Because you can face every problem that the world throws at you. In the end, you will be an even stronger woman than you were when you started.
"Raise Your Glass" - P!nk
Growing up as a girl, you are surrounded by all of these stereotypes driven by society. However, you do not have to live up to those expectations because they are not realistic. The most beautiful thing is being yourself and showing others who you truly are.
"Confident" - Demi Levato
Confidence is one of the most beautiful traits a woman can possess. It is extremely important to be confident in your own skin, especially in the society that we live in today. So, despite what others say about how you should or should not look, they're wrong because you are beautiful just the way you are.
"Sit Still, Look Pretty" - Daya
With the help of this song, the message that you don't need a boy or man in your life to live and enjoy life. Instead, you can do it all by yourself. You were put on this Earth to make a difference, not sit there, be a pretty face, and watch the world pass by you.
"God Is A Woman" - Ariana Grande
Ariana provides one heck of a song that basically screams feminism. You are capable of so much and deserve to be in a position of power, despite the bull crap referred to as the "glass ceiling." Prove them wrong and show your worth.
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - Cyndi Lauper
As a woman, you have the right to live your life the way you want to and on your own terms. Don't let others opinions on where you should be in a certain stage in your life influence you. Life live your way and have some fun!
Feminism has been around for years now as women have been seen as a minority. However, although you may be a minority to society, you are the farthest thing from that. Instead, you are a powerful, amazing, gorgeous, strong, and empowering WOMAN. Be proud of that, queen, because no one, especially no man, can steal your crown.
