1. Stupid Girls- This song goes against all the stereotypical girl and Pink always makes awesome songs. Pink really is one of those women who just really doesn't care what other people think and she does what she wants and this song sends such a positive and powerful message to girls.

2. Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend- I chose this song because it's one of the most feminine songs I know because the title says it all.

3. If I Were A Boy- This song is wonderful because Beyonce lists all the stereotypes of men and it's such a great song and empowers women in a way. I could honestly listen to this song over and over again because it has such powerful lyrics. I love that Beyonce takes the song and sings it as if she were a boy and it just really shows how women feel and the music video is even more powerful.

4. Single Ladies- This song is awesome because it's saying not to settle for anything less than good. It promotes self worth as well and it's such a good song.

5. I'm just a girl- I chose this song because No Doubt is saying that she doesn't want to be a girl because people think that we're delicate creatures and that we can't do certain things.

6. Unpretty- I chose this song because it promotes good body image because TLC is pretty much saying to love yourself as a woman and embrace your beauty. Body image is an issue of women's studies and so I chose thing song.

7. Can't Hold Us Down- This song is the ultimate empowerment song for women. Once you listen to it, you just want to celebrate being a woman and standing up for womens rights.

I honestly don't think my change in music has changed throughout the years. I've always been someone who listens to all kinds of genres and I'm still that way. I do go through phases sometimes where I want to listen to country more or I want to listen to pop songs more. I can't find one type of genre that I just absolutely love over the other. I truly listen to it all and I'm sure that I will always remain this way. I also listen to songs from when I was younger sometimes.
