feminist musicians aimed to show a positive, proactive, and assertive image of women that not only critiqued the rifts in regards to gender, but also demonstrated the goals of the feminist movement such as social justices regarding gender as well as the right of privacy concerning abortion and birth control. with the goal of breaking down the gender divide and level the gender differences, some women in this genre of music "adopt[ed] male dress codes and hair styles". women also voiced their opinions and the goals of the feminist movement through lyrical contributions. in "i am woman," helen reddy sings, "i am woman/hear me roar/and i've been down there on the floor/no one's ever gonna keep me down again. reddy creates a feeling of "girl power" that reflected the ambitions of the feminist movement.

in november 2014, womick introduced hb002, a bill that would require abortion providers to show a woman an ultrasound image of her fetus. if the woman declines to do so, the provider would be required to verbally describe the fetus, let the woman hear the heartbeat and provide the woman with an image of the ultrasound. the bill would also require a waiting period of at least 24 hours before getting the abortion. according to womick, the bill is "about protecting the emotional and physical health of a woman."
