"Woman in Love" is a popular 1980 song by Barbra Streisand from the album Guilty.

This album ultimately became the most successful album. "Woman in Love" was written by Barry and Robin Gibb and became the most successful song of Streisand's music career and spent a total of three weeks at the #1 position on the Billboard chart and also three weeks at number one on the UK chart. It went on to reach the top on almost all of the charts it entered.
