PATRICK RIGUELLE AND JOHN TERRA. This song’s lyrics were written by Neil Diamond in 1967. From the album Songs From the Brill Building:
In our recent discussion about another older song lyric, we wondered whether lyric writers in Sinatra’s era understood women. This song, lyrics by Neil Diamond, was written in 1967.
There is a message repeated three times:
“Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Soon, you’ll need a man”
Feminism has evolved in stages. Betty Friedan wrote the Feminine Mystique in 1963. Did she complain about this lyric?
