Despite the album title and tracks named “Sister” and “Woman,” Olsen says the album isn’t necessarily a feminist manifesto, but it handles themes about “the complicated mess of being a woman,” according to a press release.
“I’m definitely using scenes that I’ve replayed in my head, in the same way that I might write a script and manipulate a memory to get it to fit,” Olsen says in the release. “But I think it’s important that people can interpret things the way that they want to.”
