"Modern Woman" is a song performed by Billy Joel from his album The Bridge.

It was the album's lead-off single and was featured on the soundtrack to the film Ruthless People.

In the film, the song removes an instrumental break present in the original.

Cash Box called it "a chugging, instantly appealing cut".

[1] Billboard said: "phrases turn with top hat-and-tails flair, rhythm track barrels along like the last of the steam powered trains".
