It puts a satisfying spin on the vigor and flash of something like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” a song that is still rightly upheld for its feminist shorthand swagger, but deserves to live in the real world, too. As Not Just a Girl accelerates to its finish, Twain’s son Eja is born, her third hit album Up! is released, she contracts Lyme Disease, suffers from dizziness and issues with her singing voice, and gets divorced in 2010, after Lange cheated on her with Twain’s best friend. What Movies Will It Remind You Of? The recent Sheryl Crow documentary has a similar rags-to-riches framing to Not Just a Girl, as well as an empowering message of dogged self-determination. Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl (Netflix) covers the “Any Man of Mine” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer and songwriter’s career from its earliest beginnings, singing in Ontario bars while still a grade schooler, to her records defining a dynamic hybrid of country music and pop flash and selling millions and millions of copies. But tragedy struck in 1987 when her parents were killed in a car accident, and Twain took a singing job at a Canadian resort in order to support her younger siblings. The Woman in Me, released in February 1995, was Twain’s first album with producer Mutt Lange, whose extensive background in rock music informed her sound.

10 quotes from Shania Twain's new documentary that illustrate her ... (CBC.ca)

The Canadian country-pop star has released Not Just a Girl on Netflix, looking at her nearly 40-year career.

My point of view in relationships, the way I felt that women should be treated, respected, and I still feel the same way, so I'm just going to carry on that message." "I was always very bold and straightforward about what I thought and my point of view on things as a woman particularly. "To me, Shania Twain is a superstar that I had the privilege of singing with onstage when I was 14 years old. "When I lost Mutt I guess I was thinking that the grief of that was similarly intense to losing my parents. And I think when you can find a musician who can tap into that and write a song that speaks to that, and also do it in a way that is colourful and camp and playful and even humorous, like even laughing at oneself, I think that is also a very important experience of gay culture as well. "I think that Shania takes these universal ideas of love and of confidence and of discovering who you are as a young woman, and of the push and pull of bad days and good days and life, and all these things that are universal topics for songwriting, and she makes them sound like they've never been written about before.

A new documentary about Twain's life and towering career is part of a trend towards the reappraisal of women's impact on music.

The attention Twain has paid to her music videos has served her own career but also pushed the boundaries for others in pop. Another place where she was always able to express creatively, however, was in her music videos – even now, it is hard to think of Twain without conjuring up the brilliant imagery for her biggest songs. When Twain got her first recording deal in 1992, this was the case for her, too. In 2017, she released a new album, Now, which, though solid (it charted globally, at number one in many cases), didn’t reach the heights of her dizzying peak. There was a time when Shania Twain was one of the biggest names on the planet. But in 2003, after she contracted Lyme disease while horse riding, the her ascendancy came to an end.

The country music superstar says a tick bite in 2003 led to Lyme disease.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Lyme disease should be treated immediately and may require intravenous antibiotics if the case is severe. In most cases, the tick must be attached to the skin for at least 36 hours before the bacterium can be transmitted. In the end, a neurologist finally connected that it was the nerve to each vocal cord." People also may experience lingering symptoms that last months or even years, such as muscle and joint pain, cognitive defects and sleep disturbances, according to the CDC. Twain was in the height of her career when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Nobody connected the Lyme disease to it.
