Many people today do not know the cultural and political significance of this song. You Don’t Own Me is considered a feminist anthem. Recorded by 17 yr old Lesley Gore in 1963 the song was written and produced by three men: John Madara, David White and Quincy Jones. It reached Nr 2 on Billboard’s Top 100 where it stayed for 3 weeks. Along with other artist works, YDOM was considered a factor for second wave feminism in USA a decade later. In 2016 YDOM was inducted in the Grammy Hall Of Fame. It was Lesley Gore’s last song to hit a Top Ten chart in USA.

[@BluSpykz]

A small part in Gore not having another top 10 is that, whilst her 1963 song YDOM is about emancipation and freedom from control, her very next single - The Way Boys Are - suggests that, whilst boys treat you like garbage, that's just the way boys are, and we - women - love them for it. It reached 14 in USA, and her next song bombed to 42nd.

Thanks for the flashback --- The nightspots of North Hampton are amazing with the type crowd they attract. I'm in Pennsylvania, straight, but do appreciate lesbians, a best friend was one. Back in 1992 I was in North Hampton for a week hunting dinosaur footprints by canoe up river above Turners Falls, on the Connecticut River (came home with some nice stone footprints and memories). I was camping north west of town in a State Park. There were 3 night clubs/bars that I'd hit at night, amazing memories of all three - it was "Taste of North Hampton" week. The one night it was so foggy going back to camp I could hardly see the front end of my canoe on the roof of my white Lebaron coupe. I had a serious buzz on from a great night out and thought I must be insane driving like this through the mountains on a winding forest road back to camp. But, being an INTJ (tested genetic mastermind) I knew I could to do it. All I had to do was drive 30 minutes or so, blind and buzzed, and keep the car on the road until a State Park sign announced my turn onto another road. It worked, I found the camp. 🙃. The only problem with North Hampton was the early curfew, I think it was 1am when the bars had to close. I could have gone to 3am no problem. 🤘😎👍

I have always loved this song. For it being released back in 1963 was a huge step for feminism. You need to think about how life was back then for most women. You had to marry a man right out of high school and have children for him. That was still where women so called "belong" that was your future and were showen all your life it was right and proper, so you came to believe it and believe it was a dream come true if that happened to you. That suburban white picket fence, wife and mother, you lived for a MAN. I am a mother, but I live a unconventional life and not just live for my child, but myself and my dreams. So nothing wrong if you want be married or have kids, but we as women are not just only that, we are all so much more and can do anything a man can do. Cheers ladies!

I think that is correct. My Mother grew up in the 50s and was a University grad in the 60s. She had an older sister that didnt know how to be a go getter, and married right out of high school, was always dependent on her husband, and is still jealous that my Mom was a go-getter and believed in her own potential with personal interests and career before settling down and finding a husband. In fact, she still is convinced she is in control of her own life and is doing what she likes. As a funny aside, she met this singer Leslie at a party back in the day, asked her what it was like to be a songwriter and be well-known and they lady replied, "I don't discuss that here at parties" LOL. Thanks Mum for the funny stories.

It's funny to me how these complaints are always so closed-minded.. Was there no pressure on men in those days to marry? If they hit 30 without a bride.. That's no big deal right? Basically.. Men were expected to work, were part of the whole marriage deal that you mention, provide for their families in a single worker home, and also be in charge of anything that creates a headache in your day to day life outside of the home.. Why exactly is it that men doing all of the heavy lifting for.. well.. forever.. has been spun into a negative for them because "they were in charge"? Fucking take charge then..

Like if someone told you u can’t do something, like vote, and you stand up to them (by raising a shitfit or busting their balls until you win) wouldn’t that be a bit empowering? Like standing up for yourself isn’t whining. People stood up for themselves and it was shown to actually be empowering, as in it gave the people the feeling of power to do what’s right.
