Strange Little Girls is an assemblage of songs written by men but performed by Tori from the perspectives of a diverse cast of female characters. Songs composed by such artists as Neil Young, the Stranglers, Eminem, Depeche Mode, Slayer, Lou Reed, Lennon/McCartney, and others are taken apart and put back together darkly, gently, and in an uncompromising fashion. The result is an album which looks at men, the ways men see women, how men see themselves, and how the view changes depending on where you’re standing. Tori says, "I’ve always found it fascinating how men say things and women hear them." In it, she's taken songs written and originally sung by men and, without substantial rewriting, created a female character for each. The album includes photos of Amos portraying each woman and the StrangeLittleTour 2001 tourbook includes stories written by Neil Gaiman which accompany each character and her song.
