Avril Lavigne's Struggles As A Woman

Avril Lavigne has admitted that she finds it difficult to be taken seriously in the music industry because she is a woman.

The singer discussed the issue in an interview with The Guardian newspaper, and said she is fed up after a career of fighting for things to be done her way.

"It's difficult to be a woman and to be heard, and people sometimes don't take you seriously. I'm highly intuitive and I've always got a very strong gut feeling. I've always felt that I've known what's best for me to do and I've had to fight different people on this journey over those 17 years. I was always told: 'You need to do this and it needs to go Top 40.' You make those songs because you have to, but then the stuff that's the best on record is the album tracks.

"I would get some songs the style I really wanted ... I always loved the pop-rock thing and it's still who I am. I'm still proud of those songs and I wrote them. It wasn't like people wrote them and gave it to me. It was like, 'OK, I get it. You guys want singles that are going in this direction. Fine, I'll work with you but I'd rather be doing something else.' You can't be stubborn and just do everything your own way."

The star recently announced that her first album in five years, 'Head Above Water', will be released on Friday 15 February 2019.
