“I Am Woman” is a song written and performed by Australian-American singer Helen Reddy. It was released in 1972 and became an anthem for the feminist movement. The lyrics are a powerful declaration of female empowerment and self-assurance.
The song was written by Reddy in response to the sexism she experienced in the music industry. She was often told that she should sing songs that were more “feminine” and that she should not speak out about her beliefs. “I Am Woman” was her way of reclaiming her voice and asserting her right to be heard.
