About this episode
The episode explores Shania Twain's hit song 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!' and its connection to third-wave feminism while analyzing its musical elements.
Who ordered all the man candy? In this episode, we dress up for Shania Twain’s 1997 country-rock smash “Man! I feel like a Woman!” After our hosts consider this song and its video’s relation to third-wave feminism in the 1990s, Mark leads us on a journey through the centuries following one type of chord move that gives this song both its bluesy edge and its poppy sheen.
