Women have been blazing trails in country music for decades.<\/p>\n
Though their paths might not have always been easy, tons of the genre’s female artists have released iconic anthems over the years that were made for lifting up others (for example, when global country star Shania Twain<\/a> says \u201clet\u2019s go, girls,\u201d to kick off \u201cMan! I Feel Like A Woman!,\u201d girls everywhere are ready to go). Some of these powerful songs aim to build women up. Others applaud decisions to move on from a toxic relationship. Some of the most legendary hits made a strong statement,\u00a0while other popular songs are easy to crank the volume up to have a good time on a girl\u2019s night out.<\/p>\n \u201cDolly is not only my idol because of her incomparable career\u2014she\u2019s also my role model because of her steadfast morals and values. \u2026Now she\u2019s known as a saintly, even godlike, figure,\u201d Miley Cyrus<\/a> wrote<\/a> after the legendary Dolly Parton<\/a> was named one of <\/a>Time<\/a>\u2019s 100 most influential people of 2021<\/a>. Cyrus continued later, \u201c\u2026she\u2019s even better than your sparkliest dreams. She may be my fairy godmother, but I think she\u2019s that to everyone else too. I am happy to share her with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Whichever vibe you\u2019re going for, female country artists have probably released\u00a0an empowering anthem that will resonate with you. In honor of International Women’s Month (and International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8), here are 21 of the most empowering songs by women in country music:<\/p>\n \u201cMan! I Feel Like A Woman<\/a>,\u201d by Shania Twain<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Women have been blazing trails in country music for decades.
