For some who are *unconsciously* uncoupled (see what I did there?), Valentine's Day is one holiday worth taking a sick day for—indulging in several pints of ice cream and chick flicks, or simply forgetting that it even exists. Personally, we would prefer for all women—single or not—to just take the day to celebrate their power as boss ladies with their own identity, or gather together for a Galentine's Day Bash to celebrate each other "Lilith Fair style," as Leslie Knope would say.
Below, find 40 female empowerment anthems to cue up alone at your apartment (no judgement), or at your lady hang, as a reminder of why all women are queens in their own right—from OGs Nancy Sinatra and Diana Ross—to the Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Janelle Monáe classics of the current day.
