i think she's an important artist because unlike pj harvey and liz phair (both to varying extents, certainly not absolutes) she's not afraid to be exposed for a woman. Sometimes PJ Harvey seems like she feels the need to be independent whereas Beth Orton embraces intimacy and longing as a woman...she doesn't treat it as a sign of weakness but an element of being human.

I don't see a lack of that in PJ Harvey's music at all. To Bring You My Love is practically all about longing.
