比莉‧珍‧金決戰波比‧里格斯的著名網球賽成為倡導女權運動的經典時刻。比莉‧珍‧金的勝利向世人證明，女子不止是別人的母親或主婦。Helen Reddy、Leslie Gore 和Aretha Franklin等六十至七十年代的歌手，不時傳揚女性自主自強的反叛訊息。性別革命迎來更多鼓勵婦女自我解放的音樂，Loretta Lynn的《藥丸（The Pill）》便大膽歌頌避孕的好處及其賦予的自由。音樂中以不同形式表達女性主義，與多年來女權運動的發展如出一轍。從Pat Benatar到Salt-n-Pepa 以及 Katy Perry，各代女歌手承傳為女性發聲的使命，給予年輕女性團結的力量。

Battle of Sexes

The famous tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs was a galvanizing moment for the women’s movement. Billie Jean’s win was an affirmation to all the women who felt underestimated as simply mothers and housewives. The music of the 1960s and 70s, from Helen Reddy to Leslie Gore to Aretha Franklin was also a kind of subversive force in delivering to women messages of strength and empowerment. The sexual revolution ushered in more provocative music that gave women permission to let loose; Loretta Lynn's “The Pill” was an outright ode to the wonders of contraception and how freeing it was. Feminism in music has taken many forms, just as the women’s movement itself has waxed and waned over the decades. But from Pat Benatar to Salt-n-Pepa to Katy Perry, each generation of young women has found strength and solidarity in female artists who have literally given them a voice.
