Data Insight
Twelve tracks and not one of them hers. The album article lists the original artist beside each title instead of a writer, which is the point: the record is an argument about who wrote these songs and what they mean when a woman sings them.
Strange Little Girls came out on Atlantic in September 2001, a set of covers of songs written by men, each sung in the voice of a different woman. It sold 395,000 in the United States.
