From animations and technologically innovative abstract landscapes to realistic socially-oriented stories, 2015 was a year prolific in music videos. Women artists from pop to rock and electronic music produced a visual reflection of the place of women in today's social context: strong, rebellious, socially conscious, delicately, amusing, artsy, weird, sometimes even anti-feminine. The videos below are a step into the mind of a female artist (at times, her deliberately created persona) and, whether you agree with it or not - a visual window into music and the world from a woman's perspective. Thеse are some of the most notable videos by female artists made this year, in no particular order.
