i've been following this whole thread delightedly, and only have a little
bit to say about it.

why should any one of these artists be expected to represent the
feelings, experiences, and lifestyles of all women?  that would be
impossible.  why do they have to be phases or placeholders in the
zeitgeist?  certainly the media has been all up in the presentation of
everyone of them, and they have all dealt with it in different ways. 
they are very different women, with different things to say.  having many
albums from all four of them, i can say personally that i enjoy all of
them for varied reasons.  there is more than one way to feel anger - or
joy, or love, or disillusionment, or confusion - i certainly believe
there is more than one way to express it.  

isn't there room for all of them?
