Just Because I'm a Woman was Dolly Parton's first solo album for RCA, released in 1968. The title song, in which a woman admonishes her boyfriend for passing judgment on her previous sexual encounters, even though he is guilty of the same behavior (expressing similar sentiments as Kitty Wells's landmark hit "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels"), was regarded as something of a daring statement to make at the time; just the same, the song reached the top twenty on the U.S. country singles charts.

The album contained seven Parton originals and five covers.

Just Because I'm a Woman was reissued on CD in 2004 with bonus cuts and new liner notes.
