What it is
"32 Flavors" is a song by Ani DiFranco from her 1995 album Not a Pretty Girl; its title plays on the Baskin-Robbins 31 flavors slogan. Songfacts describes it as sung from the point of view of an overlooked young woman who quietly helps others while going unnoticed, and who longs for supportive connection with other women rather than competition.
