Here is a throwback to my favorite song when I was 18: This was their break out song. I saw them in concert 3 times. (They are both lesbians. Big deal in 1989 when this song came out, and I was still in high school.)

My favorite song at 25: (I have an Ani DiFranco tattoo, the title of one of her albums, “More Joy, Less Shame” but I basically worshipped her and anything of hers that came out before 2000. I also saw her in concert 3 times. She was one of the first Female artists to come out as bisexual in the 1990s, but she was generally a feminist and queer icon.

Before I discovered K-pop a few years ago, I listened to a lot of Adele, Amy Winehouse, P!nk, and Nora Jones.
of course I had to include a few extras. music was where I found all my female role models, especially when I was coming out In my twenties. But i still like female singer-songwriters the best when it comes to Western music.
here’s one more amazing song to send you off:
nina Simone—Feeling Good
