John Lennon: Woman is the "Nigger" of the World!

"Woman is the Nigger of the World" is a 1972 song by John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band.


The phrase was originally coined by Yoko Ono during a magazine interview in 1969.


Lennon later said during his Live in New York City album that it took him until 1970 to "dig it".


He was hoping to show how women had been and still were being treated.
