"'The Woman in Me'" is a song by American singer Donna Summer, released as the third and final single from her eponymous tenth studio album (1982). The song reached number 33 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, number 30 on the Black Singles chart, and number 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1983. It was written by John Bettis of Carpenters fame.
In North America, the single was also released on a 12-inch blue vinyl picture disc featuring the album cover artwork on an enlarged paper label. Side two featured the song "Livin' in America" from the same album and "The Wanderer", title track to the 1980 album.
