Not long before her death, Helen Reddy performed this onstage at The Women's March in January 2017. She was in the early throes of dementia but had the lyrics on a paper nearby for reminding and a stageful and audienceful of women to help her sing this song again. She looked so happy and excited to perform once again and her voice was just as strong as ever. The moment was unforgettable. Amazing and uplifting for those of us who grew up during the 70s, admiring her so. Thank you for bringing her back.

Helen Reddy was probably the most popular female pop singer of the first half of the 1970's. She wasn't known for her songwriting, but she wrote the lyrics to this one, which not only was THE anthem for the Women's Rights Movement, but also has proven to be a timeless classic that is still relevant today. She was really talented, and had lots of stage presence. I was genuinely sad when she passed away a few years ago.

Not only that, but that her song would become this massive worldwide hit, and, to their chagrin, they would have to hear it everywhere they went for the better part of a year...

I never thought there was a job I couldn't do, but because I was young and pretty I had to prove myself every time. My dad and mom encouraged me. My dad taught me some mechanics and my mom was a small business owner and acted as a strong role model. But when "I Am Woman" came on the airwaves it was confirmation!

She was amazing as she was knocked down and treated badly to get her promised record deal. She had to go behind the record executives to perform her song in clubs and places until it was requested on the radio and they had to acknowledge her. She was one of the top performers male or females in the 70’s

Thank you for acknowledging the struggle of the women in the 70's. It is too often either downplayed or forgotten.

Helen Reddy was our icon as a teen in the 70's! Another great song for strength in women is Gloria Gaynor 's "I Will Survive"!!! ❤️

Most of "I Am Woman" was written by a man--Ray Burton; & "I Will Survive" was written by 2 men--Freddie Perren & Dino Fekaris.

This song was a big deal in the early 70's. It was perfect timing for the period and the "Woman's Liberation" movement that was taking place during that era, used the song as their anthem as others noted here already. I was only about 6 or 7 years old at the time but knew of the "movement" in that period in time.

My favorite lyrics in the song are: " Yes I am wise. But it wisdom born of pain. Yes I've paid the price. But look how much I've gained. As a teenage girl, this song meant a lot to me.

This song was made against the odds....her record company tried to bury it, but women heard it and demanded radio stations play it. Her story is fascinating, and you guys should watch the bio pic.
@laustcawz2089 Жыл бұрын
Ray Burton, who wrote most of this song, is insulted that the biopic doesn't even acknowledge his contribution. I think he should sue.

Nice reaction to the late, great Helen Reddy. She could still sing her hits in the original key when she was in her 70s. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE TWO OF YOU!! 😊👍 I'm 63 years old, and I still remember all the lyrics to this toe-tapping little ditty. I used to recite it like a poem to female friends and coworkers, who were going through difficult times. I wanted them to know that they were stronger than their circumstances. New subscriber

Man that song brings me back to the 70’s as a kid! That song was a big hit on the radio at the time and my mom was hip, let us stay up and watch the midnight special as she danced around our lava lamp, bright orange beanbag chair and curtains made out of beads ha ha! I remember watching that performance the first time it aired and overheard my mom and stepdad being wowed by her as well :)

True story. I was about 9 years old when this song came out in 1971-72. Helen Reddy had a variety show on TV, and every week I would ask my mom if I could watch "Helen Reddy". She said no every time. One night we were sitting in front of the TV and this lady was singing. I told my mom that was Helen Reddy, and asked why she never let me watch her show. Turns out my mom thought the name of the show I was asking to watch was "Hell and Ready", and she thought it would be too old for me. 🤣
