Seventeen-year-old Lesley Gore recorded the hit single “You Don’t Own Me” in 1964, when women were fighting for equal rights, equal pay, and control of their own bodies. Shockingly, that same battle is being fought on many fronts today. In the name of that ongoing fight, and as an endorsement for President Obama, a group of women have joined together to sing Gore’s famous song in an online video that was released today.
“I recorded ‘You Don’t Own Me’ in 1964,” says Gore in the video. “It’s hard for me to believe, but we’re still fighting for the same things we were then. Yes, ladies, we got to come together, get out there and vote, and protect our bodies. They’re ours.”
