In 1976 when I turned 16 first heard this song. Made me realize I could do what I wanted. I became the 3rd female police officer in the police department I went to work for. Before I had to retire Iwas a training officer for many men. I also taught them proper clean report writings. And more.
This song reminds me of my mother. My father abandoned us and she had to play the role of two parents. She turned out to be strong and didn't take any crap from me or any of my siblings. She was tough as nails because she had to be. She even fought a domestic violent man who thought he could hit my mother like he did his wife. My mother nearly killed him with those physical blows, and he stayed away for good. Providing, loving, discipling and protecting was what she did, and a great job indeed. She's gone now, and I miss her so much.
What an amazing lady. A lioness protecting her cubs. She's in your heart so still alive. When its time your soul will find hers and you'll be together again. ❤🙌
Rest in peace, Helen Reddy! You gave us an anthem for the ages! Sisters, let us rise against those who seek to silence us, let us stand together in love and harmony, let us remember the words of this brave woman. We will remember you, Helen!
One of the last things my dad said to me before he died was "you are so beautiful." I don't often feel beautiful but it's pleasant memory to have from the first man I ever loved. Rip dad.
My Great Grandma always use to say to me “I am woman, hear me roar” and today this song randomly came up. It’s so heart warming to know she is watching over me. 🥰
I am a woman in my spirit and everything I do (I’m transgender MTF), and have always felt a wonderful feeling and connection to this song. Still love hearing it now and remember when it first came out. RIP Helen Reddy, you are missed, but I’m sure the people around you, are enjoying your music
Welcome to the struggle! I'm surprised that they didn't give you a pay cut after you transitioned. LOL Why do they want women to be 2nd class citizens so badly?
This is truly a beautifully written song..for us ladies..hats off to us who despite all difficulties, we refuse to give up..i am strong..i am invincible..i am woman ❤️ i am woman..watch me grow ❤️ dedicating this song to every woman watching this in today era..❤
Shes not dead she's in our hearts and minds, when aliens come down, they'll hear this song and shit themselves. Women are the most powerful thing in the universe. Men can't survive without them can they!!!!,?????
Women are amazing. Without them men are nothing. They rule this earth. Thank God for them. Unfortunately the ones I've met have been absolutely mental, but I might have found a nice one, who I'll respect and support for ever.
As a guy,I had thought I hate this song because it's man bashing but looking at the lyrics,I am wrong. It's about being a woman who can stand up for herself and she can do anything she wants. Rest in peace,Helen. You are a great singer.
@@markrodriguez9442 not really, Marcy's not a great example of a feminist. It's more the idea that the patriarchy as a system is bad for women (and also men who don't conform to society's stereotypes) and men often behave in ways that hurt women (but that doesn't mean that some men aren't lovely people).
I just LOVE this song. It was my Mothers favorite song, and by the time you get done reading this, I believe you'll understand why. My Mother was a homemaker in the 60's and early 70's, and was married to a violent drunk. she divorced him in 1973, when divorce was still relatively rare and looked down upon from a social standpoint. Possessing little more than a high school diploma, no work skills to speak of, and with no financial or any other kind of help from my father, she enrolled in college, worked 2 part time jobs while raising a 7 and 4 year old, and started a chapter of Women for Higher Education to help lift up other Women (NOT denigrate men) She went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude as the Valedictorian of her class with a BA in Political Science. She went on to work for 2 different legal aid organisations as a Paralegal, and helped not only victims of domestic violence, but those who could ill afford justice (men and women alike). She also became politically active, working to promote Women's issues in the TRUE SPIRIT of Feminism, and make no mistake, she was a RADICAL feminist, but NEVER sought to emasculate men, to her, it was truly about empowering Women, and being offended about true injustice towards Women vs the feminazi's of this day and age, whom are offended by anything not exclusively female, and I call them that because calling them femnists would be a severe injustice and insult to true Feminists such as my Mother and those like her, who struck out in the face of the unknown and dared to try to change an entrenched system from within, in a positive manner, vs tearing it all down and reforming it in their warped image. I would point out that due to the efforts of true feminists, with the incoming freshman class of congress, there will be more women serving the country in congress than ever, THAT'S TRUE PROGRESS!!!
Sounds like your mother was a great lady. There is nothing harder than striking out on your own, with children, no less and making good. You should be very proud of her.
She was a great role model for me and many women. She definitely will be missed. I can't believe, when I heard she passed today. She stood for so much back 1971. She gave so many of us hope...She definitely will be missed. May she Rest in Peace.
I was about 10 when I heard this song. Thanks to my mother, I didn't know there were occupations that weren't open to me. I believed I could be anything I wanted to become. I was the first woman in the South Jersey IBEW. Now, I am the National Business Office Manager of a very large corporation. I oversee 92 business offices and Business Office Managers. Thank you to the women who opened the door for me. I am truly grateful.
@LORILEE....A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU MY DARLING.....I TOO HAVE MANY CAREERS....MY DAUGHTER ALSO IS A GENIUS.....I GIVE THANKS TO MY AMAZING STRONG MOTHER WHO TAUGHT ME SO BRILLIANTLY.....SHE WAS A FEMINIST TOO....🙏😇🤗💖
The song takes me back to when I was a little girl in the 70s, back then the song didn't mean much to me.; but as an adult at 61 this song totally keeps me going and realized what's this song meant, Helen Reddy what's a woman all right she still is ♥️
I sang this song at my club's New Year's Eve party. I brought the house down - not because of the way I sang it - but because I Am Woman is such an amazing song! Thank you Helen Reddy!!
My Hero! All of us women became truly Empowered by our song: I AM WOMAN! Thank you Ms Helen for being such a HUGE influence in my life! Sing to everyone in Heaven!!
This was my grandmother's favorite song when she was alive. She is the strongest woman I know. Listening to this song brings me to tears because I know it was her favorite
Great song. Great singer. And its message is still applicable for over half of women in world who are held in near slavery/bondage as in most Muslim and African countries.
Thank you Helen Reddy for awakening Sooo many of us to the fact that we are equal...not better than...but equal in humanity- in every way to a man and quite capable to being able to stand on our own feet without having to accept literally and figuratively being 'beaten to the ground'. Thank you for allowing God to use you in this manner...
Had a dear friend send this to me because I am going through alot . And he said you are strong and will come out on top !! Thanks Rex for friendship and encouragement through this !!
The "anthem" of the Women's Liberation Movement, released in May, 1972, when I was 10. God bless all of my AMAZING "sisters" out there who are strong and invincible EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Time to re evaluate feminism, metoo,etc , as it's a hypocritical joke, and that's coming from a progressive, but a rational progressive who's fed up with hypocrisy
The “anthem” that makes me want to pull out my eardrums and bash my head on a footpath, all humans are just as meaningless as the other, no matter the “differences”
How is it even possible that I'm 50 years old and a huge music lover but I have never heard this song before! This is my new song that I'll be singing to anyone who gets in my way lol
I discovered her, while watching pete's dragon.. she sang songs in that animation moviefrom disney. Then years later a neighbor gave me a record player, with old records.then when going out and finding her hits record,. It's a song that I play anytime I'm feeling weak. My neighbor was proud of finding it. Now I have it on youtube hits. I share it alot.great song. Beautiful voice.
Thank you for teaching us to be strong, confident & brave. God bless your beautiful soul Helen. You made an enormous impact on generations of females around the world. We remember you & celebrate your talent & cause.
On Sunday, my niece got out of bed and ran over 26 miles in the London marathon (raising nearly £2,000 for charity on the way....) never having run a step until 7 months ago... she is fabulous...and invincible.
Melon Boi You are likely sitting on your Ass letting your Granny serve you. Some other great people like to help others!! Try it sometime, you might feel better about yourself!!
I had Helen Ready's I Am Woman vinyl Album at my Dad's..he had a record player..every time I broke up with my some what abusive boyfriend I went there..my Dad was mostly working..I would play that album "Lost in this masquerade" etc bellow it out at the top of my voice..that was my therapy.. My Dad told me A.. you can do what ever you want.. don't let any body stop you..and I did.. 😢 I seem to have lost my voice now..but I'm working on it 💞
Here's to all the ladies -- may we never allow to be ashamed or belittled because of our gender and may we treat ourselves and each other with utmost respect that we deserve!
One of the most inspirational songs ever written. Every father should have his teenage daughter download this song into one of their devices and keep it as a reminder of who they can become, with hard work.
My friend Patty's and my song, friends 45 years, passed away a few weeks ago. Patty know you are keeping them busy in heaven. RIP lady. Wish I could have said good by.
Helen Maxine Reddy (25 October 1941 - 29 September 2020) We have lost a global feminist icon in Helen Reddy. For decades her song ‘I am Woman’ has given full-throated voice to our fight for gender equality. Every word still relevant, no message dated, including we have ‘a long, long way to go’. Her legacy will endure. Hear us roar.
Happy 50th anniversary to this song; it was released around this time in 1972(it’s November 2022 as I post my comment.) Heard this quite frequently while growing up. RIP, Ms. Helen Reddy.,
I was about12 years old when this song first came out and even at that young age, I knew that as a female, things were not equal. I understood this song and felt its meaning. As I got older, things were getting better but I then TRULY understood this song because I was experiencing discrimination big time. This song should be considered a woman's anthem--even today. So many women that I know who are 20 years or so younger than me, don't know the song and that really is a shame. This is an important song. It's easy to take for granted how far we've come when you really didn't have to go through the thick of it. Please, remind your daughters the sacrifices and struggles of the many strong and brave women that came before them. Women of all races and if you were a woman of color, you had an additional struggle to overcome. Even though things are getting much better, the fight isn't over on either front. Women are still paid much less than a man for the sam job and education; women are till overlooked r high level jobs even when equally qualified as their male counterparts and it goes on We must never forget our history, for forgetting it and the struggle will almost guarantee that it will be repeated.
And now it's gone in the other direction where men are being discriminated against women. Sorry but now the woe is me women, is pure hypocritical bullshit
The dentist sung this to my 19yr old daughter on the 5th she had to have a wisdom tooth and another one pulled one on each side ..the one didnt want to come out very good ...how sweet the dentist is
Iam so saddened to hear you passing, RIP , to her children you have my deepest, sincerest symphathy, I grew up listening to her songs, I will miss her tremendously...
In 1976 when I turned 16 first heard this song. Made me realize I could do what I wanted. I became the 3rd female police officer in the police department I went to work for. Before I had to retire Iwas a training officer for many men. I also taught them proper clean report writings. And more.

Thank you Ma’am. Women like you were the role models for every single one of us. Women can do and reach anything they want too!
Salute there! 🥰
Tell us about your husband.

This song reminds me of my mother. My father abandoned us and she had to play the role of two parents. She turned out to be strong and didn't take any crap from me or any of my siblings. She was tough as nails because she had to be. She even fought a domestic violent man who thought he could hit my mother like he did his wife. My mother nearly killed him with those physical blows, and he stayed away for good. Providing, loving, discipling and protecting was what she did, and a great job indeed. She's gone now, and I miss her so much.
What an amazing lady. A lioness protecting her cubs. She's in your heart so still alive. When its time your soul will find hers and you'll be together again. ❤🙌

Yes, let us lift each other up rather than being catty, jealous, competitive with each other. If women stuck together, we'd be much further ahead.
That’s how Hiroshima happened.
I stand with you❤

@@SheSniper1 they couldn’t, because I was working for the federal government. So my pay and job security was guaranteed

This song is a lifter. When you're down, don't stay down, but pick yourself right back up and keep moving forward! I did it .
“You can bend but never break me
Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal”
Damn straight!! 💯

And now it's gone in the other direction where men are being discriminated against women.
Sorry but now the woe is me women, is pure hypocritical bullshit
Yes I am Woman, iam strong, iam invincible 😍😍😘😘💪💪
God bless your soul rest in peace...this song was so ahead of it's time. Eternal love Ms. Reddy.

The Number One Female Anthem
What a badass little song from yesteryear. (White male, country boy here, no issues with women!)
I hear 70's retro programming in bars and cafes all the time - and this song never comes up. Until now I hadn't heard it since the 70's.
Helen was a pioneer with this song.
yep
I've heard 9 songs by Helen Reddy
Helen is amazing and everyone seems to forget the woman from Australia these days :(
But not us
I'm SURE she was ("Hit the Road, Jack" was ANOTHER song I remember sung by her)
THANK YOU MS. REDDY RIP😚💪💝
This song is underrated ugh!!! I love this song 2021
RIP Helen Reddy.
I installed a Kohler toilet today with absolutely no help!!!!! I am woman hear me roar!
You go girlfriend!!!!
+Sally Kilburn Empowerment is doing something yourself, as you did. It's not singing about how special you are and making a whack of money.
You installed a toilet "all by yourself". Wow, you are woman hear you roar.
Proud of you, Sally!
That's awesome, Ms. Sally!
I didn't rate this song,growing up in the 70's,but realize now what a benchmark it was.

Iam so saddened to hear you passing, RIP , to her children you have my deepest, sincerest symphathy, I grew up listening to her songs, I will miss her tremendously...
