Some cultures believe that women have mysterious, magical or psychic powers. Whether or not that is the case, women often have an aesthetic outlook, or sense of style that is different from men. When a woman makes something beautiful that is particularly feminine, it is said to have a woman’s touch. A woman’s touch can also be applied to a situation, as in, “Christine managed the argument with a woman’s touch.”
Tori Amos has been making records since 1988, but she says that it wasn’t until becoming pregnant in 1997 that she was really able to add a woman’s touch to her music, which has become noticeably subtler.
