No other woman could represent the ultimate anthem like queen Bey. At the top of the charts, this song uses lyrics that says it all: Girls run the world!
2. “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys
This song talks about how powerful a female can be and leaves a message: to a woman nothing is impossible. You can do everything and no matter how many times you get knocked down, you will always rise up ten times harder.
3. “You Don’t Own Me” by Lesley Gore

The music talks about a woman who takes pride in owning her body and her choices. A woman who is free to be who she feels like without bowing down to any men.
4. “Independent Woman” by Destiny’s Child
Shoes, clothes and a house. The trio made it pretty clear in this lyrics that they are independent and have it all. The freedom to pay for everything with your own sweat will cause men to doubt your capability, and if that ever happens to you, show them this iconic piece!
5. “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton
This one is for the country lovers. We have one of Dolly’s biggest successes, telling the story of a woman who is drained from working but won’t give up her ambition and dream to be something big, despite a man always getting in her way. This determined woman breaks the patriarchy by saying that women are just as capable as men to labor everyday.
