In a similar vein to the popular 'Goodnight Stories For Rebel Girls', the ABC series 'Fierce Girls' tells inspiring stories about Australian women, targeted at younger listeners.

After previous episodes involving athletes, aviators, scientists, tennis players and spies, The Girl Who Roared is all about the singer, actress and activist Helen Reddy whose signature hit is the 1972 number 1, 'I Am Woman'.

We play an excerpt from 'Helen Reddy: the girl who roared' from the ABC series 'Fierce Girls' narrated by Madison Stewart, produced by Rebecca Armstrong and Laura McAuliffe, written by Samantha Turnbull, with sound engineering from Judy Rapley.
