Squeeze’s 1981 song “Woman’s World” is presented as an empathetic portrait of a housewife whose supposedly central role in the home conceals neglect, frustration and a loss of identity. Written by Chris Difford and sung by Glenn Tilbrook, the song matters for treating its female protagonist’s experience with emotional seriousness while using sharp, ironic imagery.

The title and references to a “crown” initially suggest status, but her realm is limited to the kitchen and household duties. From *East Side Story*, the track was not released as a single, yet the article describes it as a standout example of Squeeze’s songwriting: its character eventually rejects her domestic “title”, while her family belatedly witnesses her distress.
