March 8th: the day the world celebrates all women, regardless of nationality, sexuality, political standing or faith. Women are recognised for their continued resilience and strength in the face of a society which even in 2018, is still by no means offering them equal opportunities or status to those granted to men. We, as a team of female music editors, believe that women should be celebrated in this way all year round, so this playlist is not just for one day, but an overall dedication to the incredibly hard-working and diverse women of the music industry.
