Last year's worldwide Women's March was the largest single-day protest in U.S. history. Women and allies from all over the world, marched untied, to advocate women's rights, reproductive rights, healthcare reform, and to protest anti-women acts within society and the current political administration.

The success of this march has led the formation of an annual women's march. Every feminist needs these songs to continue to inspire them and remind them how badass they really are in preparation for the women's march and long after, to keep the momentum of the force of women strongly apparent.

1. "Part Of Me" - Katy Perry

Feminist lyrics : Oh, we got our feet on the ground / And we're burning it down / Oh, got our head in the clouds / And we're not coming down / This girl is on fire

3. "Sit Still Look Pretty" - Daya

Feminist lyrics: Oh, I don't know what you've been told / But this gal right here's gonna rule the world / Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be / No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

4. "NO" - Meghan Trainor

Feminist lyrics: All my ladies listen up/ If that boy ain't giving up/ Lick your lips and swing your hips/ Girl all you gotta say is / My name is no / My sign is no / My number is no / You need to let it go

5. "Brave" - Sara Bareilles

Feminist lyrics: Innocence, your history of silence / Won't do you any good / Did you think it would? / Let your words be anything but empty / Why don't you tell them the truth? / Say what you wanna say / And let the words fall out / Honestly I wanna see you be brave

6. "Fight Song" - Rachel Platten

Feminist lyrics: And all those things I didn't say / Were wrecking balls inside my brain / I will scream them loud tonight / Can you hear my voice this time? / This is my fight song / Take back my life song / Prove I'm alright song / My power's turned on / Starting right now I'll be strong

7. "You Don't Own Me" - Grace ft. G- Eazy

8. " Me, Myself, & I " - G- Eazy x Bebe Rexha

9. "Flawless" - Beyoncé Ft. Chimamnda Ngozi Adichie

Feminist lyrics: We teach girls they cannot be sexual beings / In the way that boys are / Feminist - the person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes / You wake up flawless / Post up, flawless

10. "Hey Girl" - Lady Gaga Ft. Florence Welch

Feminist lyrics: Hey girl, hey girl / We can make it easy if we lift each other / Hey girl, hey girl / We don't need to keep on one-in' up another / Hey girl, hey girl / If you lose your way / Just know that I got you

11. "Woman" - Kesha

Feminist lyrics: I'm a motherf***ing woman, baby, alright / I don't need a man to be holding me too tight / I'm a motherf***ing woman, baby that's right / I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

12. "Revival" - Selena Gomez

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
