Women on Womanhood: A Playlist For International Women’s Day

Women on Womanhood Playlist

Welcome sisters! As you may well be aware yesterday, March 8th, marked International Women’s Day. The annual event strives to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women across the globe whilst recognising and raising awareness that we have yet to achieve gender equality.

To celebrate International Women’s Day I’ve put together a collection of tracks by some of my favourite female artists and female fronted bands. I’ve looked to choose songs that speak in some way about what it is to be a female in society today or at least ones that resonate with my own experiences as a lady making her way in this world.

Have a listen & save to your playlists via the Spotify player below:

Tracklist

Emmy The Great – A Woman, A Woman, a Century of Sleep
Daughter – Mothers
Laura Marling – I Speak Because I Can
Courtney Barnett – Avant Gardener
Marina and the Diamonds – I Am Not A Robot
Kate Bush – This Woman’s Work
Sinéad O’Connor – Red Football
Sharon Van Etten – I Know
Ibeyi – Mama Says
Angel Olsen – White Fire
Ani Difranco – The Story
Amanda Palmer – In My Mind


This is by no means an extensive list of songs by women about womanhood. I’d love to hear your suggestions of tracks that could be added to my Women on Womanhood playlist. Who are some of your favourite female artists?

International Women’s Day is celebrated across this week, with many events taking place at the weekend. Find out more information and explore events in your area here.

Hello and welcome to the first post of my new blog Once, A Glimpse; written by me Charlie Swift.

Having been blogging for a number of years the time felt right to start afresh, with a clean new look, a new blog name and importantly renewed inspiration and motivation. Ultimately blogging is a creative outlet for me and for whatever reason I’ve just not been feeling the urge to create and post content under my old guise.

The last year has marked some major changes in my life; I got married, started a new job, I just turned 30 last week and we are currently looking to buy a house that we can grow into. Along with the life changes, of course, my taste and style has also shifted over the years and I’m excited to launch a new space that will better reflect my interests, personality and passions.

Whether you have followed me here from www.nothingnewblog.co.uk, my social media channels or you’re an entirely new reader, I’m so glad to have you here and hope you’ll drop by often. I plan to fill this little corner of the internet with beautiful photos that maybe captured on Lomography film or snapped on my iPhone; with wholesome delicious recipes; with stories of adventures had and lessons learnt; with music and playlists; with hopes, fears, dreams… food! Things that inspire me and may hopefully inspire you too. I have plenty scheduled for the coming weeks to give you a taste of what to expect.

In-between blog posts find me mainly on Instagram & Twitter. Please do say hello, I’d love to get to know ya!
