Madonna has been praised for delivering a powerful speech after accepting an award for Billboard Magazine's Woman of the Year.
She touched on feminism, sexism and bullying at the event in New York and said she was thankful her ability to continue her career for 34 years was being acknowledged:
@Madonna your speech at the Billboard Music Awards was inspiring. You're so brave & strong. Thanks for being that for us girls we need that.
