    Music has the power to lift our moods and get us feeling ready for the day. So, here are ten inspiring songs for women you need to listen to.

    Looking for a powerful song to make you feel ready to take on the world? Well, there are plenty of feminist anthems that are sure to make you feel like a badass.

    Whether you’re heading for a job interview, need some motivation for your workout, or just need a solo dance in your kitchen, these uplifting songs are certain to give you the energy you need right now.

    So, from pop hits to blues, jazz, rock, and more, these are ten of our favourite inspiring songs for women you need to listen to.

    10. ‘Run The World (Girls)’ by Beyonce – one of the most inspirational songs for women

    Kicking off our list of most inspiring songs for women is powerhouse Beyonce’s ‘Run The World (Girls)’. One of the most iconic girl power anthems of recent years, there’s nothing we love more than singing along to this.

    Released in 2011, this hit was accompanied by a music video featuring some very powerful-looking ladies.

    9. ‘Just A Girl’ by No Doubt – never just a girl

    Before embarking on a highly successful solo career, Gwen Stefani was part of American rock band No Doubt.

    If Gwen Stefani’s previous hits show us anything, it’s that she is all about female empowerment. This one, which points out society’s false perceptions of women and girls, is a true female empowerment anthem.

    8. ‘Beautiful’ by Christina Aguilera – an important reminder

    The next song on our list of girl power songs is Christina Aguilera’s iconic 2022 hit ‘Beautiful’. This catchy song reminds us that we are beautiful exactly the way we are, no matter what the beauty standards of our society tell us.

    7. ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ by Dua Lipa – speaking out about double standards

    Dua Lipa is one of the biggest female artists of the moment. So, it is no surprise that one of her tunes makes it onto our list of iconic feminist songs. In this song, Dua Lipa points out the double standards placed upon women and men by flipping the popular saying ‘boys will be boys’ on its head.

    6. ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ by Cyndi Lauper – one of our favourite happy songs

    Now, if you don’t feel your mood lift as soon as this song comes on the radio, then you’re definitely missing the point.

    Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ reminds us not to take life too seriously, showing us how much joy it is to be a woman. This is one of the most inspirational songs for girls and women of all ages.

    5. ‘The Man’ by Taylor Swift – wondering if I’d get there quicker

    Taylor Swift is, to many, a feminist icon who is not afraid to point out the unfair and unequal treatment of women within the music industry and in wider society.

    Her song ‘The Man’ is the perfect song for when you’re feeling walked over simply because you are a girl. You may recognise the famous line, “Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man”.

    4. ‘I’m Every Woman’ by Chaka Khan – one of the most inspiring songs for women

    The perfect song to sing on International Women’s Day, ‘I’m Every Woman’ will undoubtedly put everyone in the room in a good mood. 

    Chaka Khan’s 1978 hit was covered by the likes of Whitney Houston, cementing its place as one of the most amazing songs for women of all time.

    3. ‘9 to 5’ by Dolly Parton – an anthem for working women

    Now, no matter whether you’re a Dolly Parton fan or not, you can’t deny that ‘9 to 5’ is one of the most amazing songs for women. This female empowerment anthem speaks to all working women by highlighting the shared experience of working from nine to five.

    2. ‘Born This Way’ by Lady Gaga – a female icon

    Lady Gaga’s reputation as a feminist icon is undeniable. From her iconic meat dress to her career in music and acting, there is no denying she is one powerful woman.

    ‘Born This Way’ by Lady Gaga is one of the most inspirational songs on our list because it reminds us that we are amazing just the way we are.

    1. ‘R-E-S-P-E-C-T’ by Aretha Franklin – you are allowed to demand respect

    Topping our list of inspiring songs for women is Aretha Franklin’s ‘R-E-S-P-E-C-T’. An inspiration to women, and particularly black women, everywhere, this incredible song reminds us that it is okay to demand respect.

    Would you agree that it is one of the most inspiring songs for women?
