Ciara "Like A Boy" (2009)
During the Civil War, women were not allowed to be in combat. Even though it was illegal for women to fight, there were many brave women who disguised themselves to fight as men. Women wanted to fight in the war for the same reasons as men, so that would support their views, and to be able to leave home and be with their husbands. I picked this song because she talks about how she could do the things boys can do.
