I thought I'd celebrate with three songs, all very different but all with a message:
Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin in what has become an anthem for women, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves -

Pink with Stupid Girls (Whatever happened to a girl president? She's dancing on a video
next to Fifty Cent) -

And the wonderfully satirical and in your face Lily Allen with her controversial It's Hard Out Here For A Bitch
(personally, I love it and can see the parody although many don't seem to be able to) -

If you'd like to help women help themselves, look into micro banking that allows small loans to women to help set up businesses, mainly in third world countries, donate to a women's refuge or one of the many charities that help women all over the world.
Let's all celebrate how far we've come and reflect on how far we have yet to go!
