Comic Book Tattoo (book, 2008)News: Cornflake Girl: Singing Out For Change
Christoff notes that “Cornflake Girl” is one of three songs singled out in a September 21st Observer article discussing the role of arts and music in broadcasting a message of social justice and human rights to listeners and viewers. The Observer’s pop critic, Kitty Empire, singles out three songs that fit the theme, saying the following about one of Tori’s biggest hits:
At Number Three, Tori Amos with ‘Cornflake Girl’. Amos’s 1994 single made it to No 4 in the UK charts. To this day, few realise that it is about the horrors of female circumcision, and the betrayal of daughters by their own mothers in the name of tradition and social cohesion.
The other two songs she singles out are “Strange Fruit,” most famously performed by Billie Holiday but also covered by Tori, and Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.”
