Once Shania Twain and her husband, Mutt Lange, began working together, things really took off with Twain's second studio album, "The Woman in Me." Twain took more of a leading role in her music on this album, letting her true personality show. As she told the Independent, her management team was initially skeptical: "I would be hated by the men because I was too opinionated and too forceful and demanding, and I would be hated by the women because I was being sensually expressive," she said.
Luckily, she didn't listen to them. As she told Official Charts, she wrote her own songs (sometimes with the help of her husband), directed and edited her own music videos."It was an incredible learning time in my life," she recalls. "I was really blossoming at this point in my career ... And it just got better and better."
Clearly, her risky decision to take a leading role in the album paid off. She won a Grammy for Best Country Album, and the album eventually became the best selling record ever to be released by a female country artist. As Twain put it, the album is "probably the biggest achievement of my career."
