@femalequotient: Lesley Gore was still a teenager when she recorded ""You Don't Own Me,"" a song that challenged the expectations placed on women and became an anthem of independence for generations to come. Long before conversations about autonomy, identity, and self-determination became mainstream, she used her voice to push back against the idea that women should be controlled, defined, or limited by others. But her impact went far beyond one hit song. She built a career on her own terms, continued creating throughout her life, and later used her platform to help her LGBTQ+ community feel seen and less alone. As #PrideMonth comes to a close, we're honoring her legacy as an artist and advocate. ✨ #Trailblazers
