Kate Sheppard: Fought and succeeded for the right for women to vote.
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
Mother Theresa:
Devoted her life to helping the sick, disabled and poor.
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Coco Chanel (Gabrielle Bonheur): Needless to say, fashion pioneer...
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Benazir Bhutto: The first woman to head the government of an Islamic State, Pakistan (1988).
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Amelia Earhart: First aviatrix to fly over the Atlantic alone & attempted to fly around the world solo.
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
Diana Spencer: Princess of Whales, a truly amazing woman who went through so much and did much more.
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
