I'm Every Woman: 25 Women Empowerment Songs

These tunes inspire R-E-S-P-E-C-T around the world.

Beyoncè and Tina Turner - Turner is a one-in-a-million kind of diva, but its hard to deny she has a true successor in Beyoncè. The two share gorgeous looks, glass-shattering pipes, frenetic and often-imitated dance moves and a bold-yet-feminine style. The comparisons became crystal clear when the two divas took the stage together at the 2008 Grammy Awards and performed Miss Tina's classic hit "Proud Mary." (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
I’m Every Woman — Chaka Khan  - Recorded in 1978, for example, Chaka Khan's single "I'm Every Woman" served as her first breakout solo project. This was a different route for Khan, as she was only recording with the band Rufus prior to this single. Years later, it was covered by Whitney Houston, and the newer generation's liking towards it proved how timeless the hit truly was. (Photo: Echoes/Redferns)
Gloria Gaynor - Though it flourished in New York in the 1970s, disco was actually born in Newark. The "I Will Survive" singer was awarded the only Grammy Award ever for Best Disco Recording in 1980, just as the genre took its last breath.(Photo: Nick Laham/Getty Images)"A Woman's Worth," Alicia Keys  - Alicia Keys first proved she was a triple threat with her debut, Songs in A Minor. The album's second single, "A Woman's Worth," for example, featured Keys's talents not only as a singer, but a songwriter and producer as well. Her hard work paid off — the song was granted an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Song the same year of its release. (Photo: WENN.com)
