I Am Woman: The Essential Helen Reddy Collection is a compilation album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1998 by Razor & Tie and, in addition to the title track, includes three additional songs written or cowritten by Reddy ("Best Friend", "More Than You Could Take", and "I Think I'll Write a Song") as well as rare compilation appearances by "Bluebird", "The Fool on the Hill", and two recordings from her brief time with MCA Records ("I Can't Say Goodbye to You" and "Never Say Goodbye").
On Allmusic Charles Donovan asserts that this collection "is a compilation that lives up to its name -- everything anyone could possibly need to know about Helen Reddy's heyday is included, and more. Dwelling largely on her years at Capitol, and concentrating almost exclusively on single releases, I Am Woman is a more comprehensive round-up than 1975's Greatest Hits."[1]
