Sammy Kershaw’s “National Working Woman’s Holiday,” released on June 28, 1994, is an upbeat country anthem that pays tribute to the hardworking women balancing professional and personal responsibilities. Written by Roger Murrah, Pat Terry, and James Dean Hicks, the song’s narrative centers on a man recognizing his partner’s relentless efforts and proposing a day off in her honor—a “national working woman’s holiday.” This resonant theme propelled the song to significant chart success, reaching number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and number 3 on Canada’s RPM Country Tracks chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Michael Merriman, visually encapsulates the song’s message by depicting scenes of women managing their dual roles at work and home, further emphasizing the need for acknowledgment and appreciation of their dedication.
