Over the last few decades women have really stood up against the patriarchal society we live and said 'enough is enough.' Although we still live in a patriarchal society, the boundaries are being blurred thanks to some of the most influential music of our time.
I thought I would compile a list of 25 songs that depict the changing attitudes of women over the last 50 years, particularly over the last 20 years.
In no particular order here are:
