Hello all. I'm prompted to write this post as my personal circs have recently changed, meaning that I am spending much more time listening to music in the car and while working at home (aka MNing). I've also been learning a little about the Women's Liberation Music Archive.
I would love to know what songs/pieces of music inspire you in a feministy way, partly to enable me to create some new Spotify playlists, but also because it's always fascinating and a real privilege to read about other people's personal relationship with music.
"Feministy music" can be defined anyway you like. For me, it's not just music with overtly feminist lyrics, but perhaps songs where a knowledge of the performer's life adds an extra emotional impact to their performance or a sense of connection, or maybe songs sung from a uniquely female perspective? Maybe even songs that just make you want to high-kick around the kitchen and make you feel braver about facing the world in some way? I don't think it matters if the original context of the song is un-feministy.
I'll go first:

All together now: "don't wanna see your face, don't wanna hear your words, why don't you just (f
