Lzzy has always been an advocate of women kicking ass, both literally and figuratively. In an open letter written for International Women's Day, the singer said, "After being a frontwoman longer than I haven’t been one (21 years), I’ve seen it proven again and again that being strong is not synonymous with being male. Boys and girls are equal, but opposite. And gender isn’t just pink and blue, it is a grand spectrum of magentas, lavenders, deep purples, aquas, and navys.
"I’m eternally grateful to all of the female role models who recognise the importance of owning everything they are: from high heels to heavy metal. They were an integral part of me finding my place in this world.
"And now I get to be a role model for girls who are carving out their own paths behind me. I will be their North Star and not waste my time while I shine.
"In conclusion, and in honour of International Woman’s Day, I encourage all of my young ladies: Don’t just be a superhero, be a female superhero. Don’t just be a rock star, be a female rock star."
