This was way ahead of its time. Definitely a feminist anthem before women were really speaking up.

I have an older friend whose parents didn't allow her to listen to this song. She had to change the radio station when it came on and wasn't allowed to buy the record. Her parents believed the message about independence and not obeying a man would have a bad influence on her.

Lesley Gore, was a great singer, songwriter & actress. At the age of 16, she recorded the pop hit "It's My Party" in 1963. She followed it up with many more hits including "Judy's Turn To Cry", "She's A Fool", "That's The Way Boys Are", "Maybe I Know", "Look Of Love", "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows" etc. Sadly she died in 2015.

You Don't Own Me" is a popular song written by Philadelphia songwriters John Madara and David White and recorded by Lesley Gore in 1963, when Gore was 17 years old. The song was Gore's second most successful recording and her last top-ten single. On November 27, 2016, along with 24 other songs, the Grammy Hall of Fame announced its induction.[1] The song was shocking in 1963 for its anti-patriarchal stance, showing the power of one woman to deny the wishes of a man. Since then, the song has been hailed as an early feminist anthem.[2] In 2015, singer Grace took Gore's song to No. 1 in Australia with a version featuring rapper G-Eazy.[3] Background

Right, Mugnify-- the Sixties saw more assertive and carefree women, especially during the late 60's and early 70's with Flower Power and protests against the Establishment and the Vietnam War. Leslie Gore was one of my favorites-- I copied her hairstyle and singing . I was too young to have a boyfriend, but I thought I could sing this to a pretend boyfriend.😆

Love love love this song . Dusty Springfield was fantastic. We, even as young teenagers were already tired of guys telling us what to do and be. I don't know if she was intentionally trying to start the feminist movement. I was too young to understand that. But I do know girls were sick of being dictated to. The boys were two timers and the girls had to stay with them.

Irony is this song was written by two men, David White and John Madara, “You Don’t Own Me,” started out as another song about some boy in the 1960s then it was transformed into the anthem of female empowerment and for racial equality of the era and just before the British Invasion arrived with the Beatles the next year. ANOTHER Female Power Anthem of the Early 70s was by - Helen Reddy - "I am Women" hit song... of 1971 good for a past era reaction song. Helen also did a lot of Guest Hosting for the music show in '75 '76 - The Midnight Special that many reactors have used.... with performances live if the act chose to do so.

This was a favorite song of my moms. It came out when she was in high school. One of her favorite memories she has said was me doing this song, dressed up for a pagent as a little kid 6-8 maybe. She dressed me like back in the day. Even had a cute flip wig and gloves. Not unlike her senior pic. Her parents cheered and acted like they had not banned that song in their house. It's amazing how time & grandbabies soften things.

This was very early in the feminist movement although it hadn't gotten a lot of publicity yet, and most women weren't really aware of it yet. The really open demonstrations of women protesting and being very vocal didn't start till around 1970. That was a part of a lot of movements for different groups that were all happening then.

This was during wall of sound time period. Those layers were huge at the time. And some producers did it better than others. It was also not always great on tv appearances as opposed to the records. They were not putting out music videos as marketing from the record companies as we know it now then. Or even as they did once MTV hit. I would encourage you to listen to more "wall of sound" examples. Phil Spector coined the term but he was not the only one doing it.

Perry Mason? LOL! You are reading too much into this song. As a Boomer, I loved this song. This song is not about feminism but about mutual respect and guys dating girls back then and acting like jerks and thinking they own them and treating them badly in front of others. Feminism is about hating men and not being a true woman but trying to be men. Great and powerful song and voice and she was so nice looking. Her Blue Eyes were amazing. She was only 17.

Feminism isn’t about hating men. Feminists are not trying to be men. Feminists simply believe men and women are equal. We had to fight to get equal consideration - we still are in many ways - as men. Women’s lib has made leaps and bounds but patriarchy is still alive and well, especially in the south. A man in the same position as a woman in 2023 still makes more money. Men are listened to and believed, what they say considered as fact. Women can say the same exact thing and we are questioned and doubted and have to prove what we say is true. In 2023. Off topic from the music but I absolutely can’t let statements like that go without responding. Times have changed. But women still fight every day for the things men are given without question.

@@patriciabee. We have heard and seen the hatred of the Feminazi's such as NOW and others. Many are lesbians and man haters. The feminist movement claims aims to improve the conditions for women, yet only a 'MInority' of women in modern societies identify as feminists. This is known as the paradox of feminism. It is destructive the structure of the nuclear family and then to our culture and society. No real men want them because they are angry and bitter. Only Beta Males will have you.

The lure and deceit of modern feminism are that of indulging victimhood. Modern feminism has turned the idea that woman were capable of pursuing the things to which they were called and twisted it into a sort of egalitarian pipe dream: feminists offered promises of unreserved happiness to the women who rejected traditional gender roles out of spite for the so-called Patriarchal American society. If a woman did not feel fulfilled by delaying marriage and a family, it must be the construct of a sexist society in which all of a woman’s needs can’t be fulfilled by pursuing some “personal enlightenment” through a career. The feminist movement took a disastrous turn when it shifted from a message acknowledging the inherent strength of women and your capacity to contribute to the diversity of ideas and skills in society, to a herd mentality dictated by a select progressive elite, chaining women to the anchor of a perpetual victim class. It was an open invitation to use gender as a way to avoid responsibility for poor life choices, to use it as an excuse to not pursue one’s potential, and as a weapon to silence critics who happen to be of the opposite sex. Hillary Clinton mastered this technique. She has a complete deck of playing cards emblazoned with “Sexist” and the picture of 52 past and present Republican politicians. It’s now on loan to Elizabeth Warren who played a bold hand during the Iowa debate Tuesday night.

There is a movie , Grace of my Heart, I believe from the 90s that did a interpretation of a songwriter like Carole King writing in the 60s and 70s as a studio writer then on her own. They touch on many song styles and musicians of the time period. In a general way. Some direct lifts, some an amalgamation of a type of common experience. Bridget Fonda plays a Leslie Gore type. A teen idol with a secret girlfriend. The moments are very well done. It's hard to imagine now just how big of a deal that was then.
