01. Helen Reddy - I Am Woman

02. Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down

This is for my girls all around the world / Who’ve come across a man who don’t respect your worth / Thinking all women should be seen, not heard / So what do we do girls? / Shout louder! / Letting them know we’re gonna stand our ground / Lift your hands high and wave them proud / Take a deep breath and say it loud / Never can, never will, cant hold us down

Tell me how feel about this / Who would I want if I would wanna live / I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get / Ladies, it ain't easy being independent



04. Mindy McCready - Guys Do it All the Time

Guys do it all the time / And you expect us to understand / When the shoes on the other foot / You know that’s when it hits the fan / Get over it, honey, life’s a two way street / Or you wont be a man of mine / Sure I had some beers with the girls last night / Guys do it all the time




05. Ricardo Arjona - Mujeres

Mujeres, lo que nos pidan podemos / Si no podemos no existe / Y si no existe lo inventamos por ustedes / Mujeres, lo que nos pidan podemos / Si no podemos no existe / Y si no existe lo inventamos por ustedes




06. Los Prisioneros - Corazones Rojos

Eres ciudadana de segunda clase / sin privilegios y sin honor / porque yo doy la plata / estas forzada a rendirme honores y seguir mi humor / búscate un trabajo, estudia algo / la mitad del sueldo y doble labor si te quejas hay esta la puerta / no estas autorizada para dar opinión / Corazones rojos, corazones fuertes




07. Aretha Franklin - Respect

What you want baby I got / What you need / You know I got it / All I'm askin' is for a little respect / When you come home / Baby when you come home / Respect




08. Euryhtmics – Sisters are Doin' it for Themselves

'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you we say / Sisters are doin' it for themselves / Standin' on their own two feet an ringin' on their own bells / Sisters are doin' it for themselves. / Now this is a song to celebrate / The conscious liberation of the female state.




09. Meredith Brooks – Bitch

I’m a bitch / I’m a lover / I’m a child / I’m a mother / I’m a sinner / I’m a saint / I do not feel ashamed / I’m your hell / I’m you dream / I’m nothing in between / You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

I’m every woman / Its all in me / Anything you want done baby / I do it naturallyI’m every woman / Its all in me / I can read your thoughts right now / Every one from A to Z



11. Donna Summer - She Works Hard for the Money

Twenty five years have come and gone / And she seen a lot of tears / of the ones who come in / They really seem to need her there / It’s a sacrifice working day to day / for little money just tips for pay / But its worth it all just to hear them say that they care



12. No Doubt - Just a Girl

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes / I’m exposed / And it’s no big surprise / Don’t you think I knowExactly where I stand / This world is forcing me to hold your hand

13. Alicia Keys - A Woman's Worth

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat your woman right / Not just told but to show she is worth your time / You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first / She will if she can’t find a man who knows her worth,

14. Des'ree - You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds / Challenge what the future holds / Try and keep your head up to the skyLovers, they may cause you tears / Go ahead release your fears / Stand up and be counted / Don't be ashamed to cry / You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold / You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard / You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger / You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm / You gotta stay together



15. Dido – Hunter

With one light on in one room / I know you’re up when I get home / With one small step upon the stair / I know your look when I get there / If you were a king up there on your throne / Would you be wise enough to let me go / For this queen you think you own / Wants to be a hunter again / Wants to see the world alone again / To take a chance on life again / So let me go



16. Britney Spears - Stronger


Hush.. just stop / there's nothing you can do or say (baby) / I've had enough /I'm not your property as from today (baby) / you might think that I wont make it on my own but now I’m stronger than yesterday / Now it’s nothing but my way / my loneliness ain't killing me no more



17. Green Day – She

She screams in silence / A sullen riot penetrating through her mind / Waiting for a sign to smash the silence / With the brick of self control / Are you locked up in a world / That’s been planned out for you? / Are you feeling like a social tool without use ?



18. John Lennon - Woman is the Nigger of the World

We make her paint her face and dance / If she won’t be a slave, we say that she don’t love us / If she’s real, we say she’s trying to be a man / While putting her down, we pretend that she’s above us / Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is / If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with / Woman is the slave of the slaves / Ah, yeah...better scream about it




19. Ciara - Like a Boy

What If I?.../Had A Thing On The Side? Made Ya Cry? Would The Rules Change Up?...Or Would They Still Apply?... If I Played You Like A Toy?...Sometimes I Wish I Could Act Like A Boy

20. Silvio Rodriguez - Mujeres

Me estremeció la mujer que parió once hijos / En el tiempo de la harina y un kilo de pan / Y los miró endurecerse mascando carijos / Me estremeció porque era mi abuela además / Me estremecieron mujeres
Que la historia anotó entre laurels / Y otras desconocidas, gigantes / Que no hay libro que las aguante / Me han estremecido un montón de mujeres/ Mujeres de fuego, mujeres de nieve
