Björk has been one of the most outspoken artists on the treatment of women in the music industry. Throughout her career, she has argued that women are often underestimated, held to different standards than men, and denied recognition for their creative work.

Some of her key views include: Women are often not credited for their artistry

Björk has spoken about how people frequently assumed that male collaborators were responsible for aspects of her music that she had created herself. She has said that she composed, produced, and arranged much of her work, yet critics often overlooked those contributions.

One of her best-known statements is "Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times."

She has used this to describe how women often have to repeatedly prove their expertise before being taken seriously.

Björk has expressed admiration for younger women in music who produce their own records and challenge industry norms. She has welcomed the growing visibility of female producers and experimental artists, seeing it as progress toward greater equality.
