The talented women musicians of the late 1980’s and 1990’s, redefined the attitudes of the present generation. They brought an end to the belief that troubled girls were just powerless Ophelia’s, struggling to find the psychological cause for their dissatisfaction. They encouraged young women to become independent and to strive for what was best for them alone. Ani DiFranco, a folk-singer, supported the need for women to abandon past conventional attitudes, in her song “Not a Pretty Girl” when she simply stated, “I am not a pretty girl/ I don’t want to be a pretty girl/ No, I want to more than a pretty girl” ( ). Her thoughts and feelings towards female rebellion of Cosmopolitan views of women in society has been a huge influence in the way today’s women think and act. DiFranco questions women’s values and beliefs in the era of the middle to late 1990’s. Values are ideas of what is desirable in life, whereas beliefs are a person’s thoughts and feelings toward a certain subject.
