Notes.
1. "Woman" is a song written and performed by John Lennon from his 1980 album 'Double
Fantasy'. Lennon wrote it as an ode to his wife Yoko Ono, and to all women.  The track
begins with Lennon whispering, "For the other half of the sky ...", a paraphrase of a 
Chinese proverb, once used by Mao Zedong.
