Summary/Abstract: The article views American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega's album Solitude Standing (1987) through the lens of the writings of a French psychoanalyst and feminist scholar Luce Irigaray. Vega's captivating stories of lonesome heroines stranded in monotonous and alienating urban landscapes resonate with Irigaray's concept of femininity as place. The questions of placement and placelessness that permeate the album make for an interesting context in which Irigaray's 'ethics of sexual difference' can be explored in relation to both the feminine experience and artistic practice.
