For Ladies Only is an album by the band Steppenwolf, released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). It is a political concept album mainly about feminism but with several more conventional songs about romance as well, both unusual themes for Steppenwolf. Ironically, some critics saw the album as sexist, citing an image of a vehicle shaped like male genitalia alongside the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the sleeve of the record album. The album is considered to be an indication of John Kay's desire to begin his own solo career, as he does not appear in three out of the ten tracks on the album.
