Womens issues have always been a part of my life. – Annie Lennox
Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries. – Annie Lennox
When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty – they were coming from a universal and personal place. – Annie Lennox
We all fight over what the label feminism means but for me its about empowerment. Its not about being more powerful than men – its about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. Its about very basic things. Its not a badge like a fashion item. – Annie Lennox
