Being a woman in country is really empowering. It's a genre where you can truly say whatever you want to say as long as you're 100% behind your message and who you are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
The way I look at - speaking as a woman - I understand what it means to be a daughter, and to be a wife, and to be a mother, and also to be a career woman. The multiple roles that women can play in a society if given the opportunity is really a tremendous asset.
I'm a country girl at heart.
It's so hard to be the girl in a country song, so we're speaking up.
Empowering women leads to a more inclusive growth of society and the nation.
I'm glad I'm a woman; I'm glad I'm a rapper because I get to speak to these people who did not get spoken for in this genre.
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
It's scary to become a woman in this world. We have to understand that some of the messages we get, messages that we are not enough, are there to keep our power in check. We can't buy into these messages.
I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn't feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you've got to work as hard as them.
