50 Songs to Blast Throughout Women’s History Month

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UVA chapter.

HAPPY WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH! As we all know, women rule the music scene year-round, but March really gives us the time to thrive. This playlist could include 6.02 x 1023 (a whole MOLE) more songs by a million more amazing artists, but I think I would crash my computer. Hopefully, 50 songs will be sufficient to bop through the entire month. You can find this playlist on Spotify!
