March is Women's History Month, and who better to put together a playlist for women than Ariana Grande [1]? The "God Is a Woman" singer announced on Twitter that she released a 103-song playlist on Apple Music [2] in honour of International Women's Day [3], and it has plenty of bops that'll empower you [4] (and every woman) to be strong, independent, and comfortable in your own skin. From hits like "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera [5] to empowering singles like "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson, this mix of music has songs by all kinds of artists, both old and new. Grande embraces her womanhood, and challenges other women to uplift one another and break the standard definition of what a woman "should be" — and for that, we celebrate!
