An anthem for Feminists

[Thesuzle]

May I propose the song by Helen Reddy RIP. “I am Woman“
Helen who has died at the age of 78 September 29 2020

I can think of no better song

Absolutely. RIP Helen.

Well, link & most of lyrics here if we've got to be able to sing this en mass. Mind I still can't do Seven Drunken Nights properly yet lol

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Up until yesterday, I only knew that song from Bongwater's 'the power of pussy'

oh yes. fab idea. RIP Helen.

I love this.

A friend who was at Greenham Common recorded it and gave it to me on a cassette tape back in the early 80s, I played it to death! Really brings back memories, but resonates just as strongly now as it did then.
