'Just Because I'm a Woman' by Dolly Parton
A single from the icon's album of the same name, this track is about a woman who admonishes her boyfriend for the double-standard of judgment he passes on her past romantic flings, even though he's guilty of having some himself.
'I'm a Survivor' by Reba McEntire
Reba McEntire got a lot of juice out of this empowering anthem, in which she sings about the different ways she has survived, including being "a baby girl without a chance" and a "single mom who works two jobs." The track was one of McEntire's numerous chart-topping hits as well as the theme song for her sitcom Reba.
'GIRL' by Maren Morris
"I feel like it needed to be said, especially right now," Maren Morris said of her arena-sized anthem "GIRL." The song is meant to encourage female empowerment and celebration in an industry and society that often like to pit women against each other.
