This academic paper is based on the analysis of the representation of women in music throughout history, examining how women have been portrayed in musical works, including song lyrics and their music videos. Music has been an inseparable part of human culture since its very beginnings, although the first written records of music date back to the 14th century BC. Evidence of the presence of women in the history of music accompanies us back thousands of years, starting with ancient Egypt. The paper focuses on the portrayal of women in music through lyrics and visual elements of artistic works. The history of music, spanning thousands of years, likely began with the human voice as the original musical instrument. However, archaeologists have also unearthed primitive instruments such as flutes dating back over 35,000 years. Some researchers even argue that certain archaeological findings predate the Neanderthals, indicating that the human species discovered music much earlier than previously believed. Throughout history, women have found their place in the world of music, with the first significant figure being Hildegard von Bingen in the Middle Ages. Many of them used pseudonyms or initials to conceal their identities, further highlighting the challenges they faced. Despite the numerous traces that women have left in the history of music, this paper primarily focuses on the analysis of the portrayal of women through song lyrics and music videos. Through an analysis of the most famous songs from different decades, it explores how women have been described in lyrics and how these portrayals have evolved over time. The paper also investigates various music genres and their approach to representing women, with an emphasis on differences and similarities in the depiction of female characters. Additionally, the paper delves into the roles of women in the music industry and how their portrayal impacts society. In order to better understand the role of women in music throughout history and the perception of the female gender, a survey was conducted with a sample of ninety individuals.
