Women Rock the World

Women Rock the World is an empowering anthem written by Joyce Rouse, Lindy Gravelle, and Lisa Palas. Inspired by the groundbreaking film Hidden Figures, this song celebrates the resilience, achievements, and contributions of women throughout history.

Featuring a powerful tribute to Katherine Johnson—one of NASA’s pioneering mathematicians—alongside many other trailblazing women, the lyrics serve as both a history lesson and a heartfelt homage. The final section highlights some of the many “firsts” achieved by women in various fields, reminding us of the progress made and the courage it took to get there.

As songwriters, we each created long lists of inspiring women—past and present—who shaped the world. This song is our way of honoring their legacies and uplifting women everywhere, whether famous or unsung. With lines like “my mama, your mama, grandmama, and you and you and you”, Women Rock the World is filled with the joy, strength, and solidarity of womanhood.

Perfect for choirs, soloists, and anyone looking to celebrate Women’s History through music!
