Famous Sayings: #55 — ‘I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar’

March 31, 2017

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again

Helen Reddy (right) made numerous appearances in television and movies (include The Carol Burnett Show) after her song “I Am Woman” became a hit and an anthem.

The lyrics for the song can be found on Songfacts. You can see a live performance of the song by Helen Reddy here.

I’m cheating a little bit here. I wanted to use this song to end Women’s History Month and talk a little bit about the women’s liberation movement.
