me and my gal pal Leanne talk about Tori songs a lot. Today she called me up and said "Heather, what do you think the song Mr. Zebra really means?" And I've been listening to this song since I was 13.. and I always thought it was about a woman who was abused by her husband and she poisoned him and buried him alive. Leanne discussed this with her stepdad and they came to the conclusion that the song may be about abortion & women's rights. I can definitely see that side of the story too. But Tori has many layers in many of her songs.. that's what I love about her most.

Yeah. I mean, Tori Amos is known as a feminist artist. This song might give a sense of women fighting against oppression in thier society- that’s what she is driven by. She uses code names to not only cover up true identities but to also attempt to branch out and help others relate to her. She even uses a feminist language (masculine writings are full of strong prose while women’s are clauses that are linked in looser sequences) Her écriture féminine that break free from phallocentric ways of thinking helps reinforce her standings as one of the greatest feminist artists...
