Loretta Lynn has seen first-hand the progress women have made in society. And she sang many songs about it. The 1960s and ‘70s were an important milestone for women, with the invention of the birth control pill and the women’s liberation movement.
In 1975, Loretta Lynn released the aptly titled song “The Pill.” The song gained controversy due to the lyrics seemingly promoting birth control for women. Singer Margo Price recently paid tribute to the impact Loretta Lynn’s blunt lyrics had on women over the years.
The icon herself compiled a playlist that celebrates the women of country music. The playlist includes Loretta Lynn’s favorite songs from the ladies of country music.
Margo Price Idolizes Loretta Lynn
Many female country singers grew up listening to Loretta Lynn’s music. Margo Price is one of them. She had the honor of singing a duet with the iconic singer. The two teamed up for an updated take on Loretta Lynn’s classic “One’s On The Way.”
Like her song “The Pill,” Loretta Lynn sings about motherhood and having babies in the song. “One’s On The Way” compares the life of a housewife to the glitz and glam of celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor.

“I’ve always looked up to her for writin songs about birth control, cheatin and women’s rights even though they were considered taboo in country music.,” Price wrote. Loretta Lynn shared the heartfelt tweet with her own Twitter followers.
