Power of a Woman is the second album of Eternal and was released in 1995. The album was without Louise who embarked on her solo career leaving the Easther and Vernie Bennett and Kelle Bryan to continue in the girl band. The overall feel of the album is more oriented to the American R&B scene with collaborations with BeBe Winans and Dallas Austin. Nevertheless the group's success remained in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan. The song "Who Are You" went on to become their second number one hit in Japan.

This album included four top 10 hit singles "Power of a Woman", "I Am Blessed", "Good Thing", and "Secrets", although all bar "Power of a Woman" would be remixed versions released instead of the traditional album versions.

This is the only Eternal album not to feature Vernie Bennett singing lead vocals but did include Kelle Bryan rapping on three of the album tracks.

Although "Someday" was released as a single before "Secrets" it was not included on this album but instead was included on its follow up Before The Rain.

The album was re-released with a bonus disk featuring dance remixes.^[1]
