In the wake of the major award season wrapping up, 2024 is becoming the year for women in music. By women, we mean cis-women, trans-women, and intersex women.

At the Academy Awards in the US, 22-year-old Billie Eilish became the youngest person to win two Oscars for best original song. This year the award was for the mega-hit What Was I Made For?, from the Barbie film, co-written with her brother, Finneas O’Connell. The song also won a Grammy and Golden Globe. In 2021, the siblings won an Oscar for No Time to Die, the title track from the James Bond film.
