4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource For "Card Meanings" 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I think many people overlook this helpful little book due to it's title. A Feminist Tarot as a title seems to make main-stream readers feel there is nothing to be gained her. NOT SO. The reason I like this book so much is it is one of the only Tarot books I have ever seen that takes the "traditional" or "standard" meanings to the Tarot Cards which were mostly established around or before the 1930s and puts those meanings along side the authours contemporary interpretations. The result is a great little snapshot on each card that gives you an idea of the very different places the images on the cards can leave you. If you want to work with book meanings this is the way to go since you can quickly and easily get two VERY different interpretations. This book also has some of the very succinct and logical information on the History of Tarot, and provides an historical outlook often overlooked by Tarot enthusiasts. Definately worth keeping as a reference for the serious Tarot Student, or the student who wants to know "what the cards should mean."

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite tarot book! 13 Sep 2002
By A.W. - Published on Amazon.com
I've read over 50 books on Tarot and I keep going back to this one. Like a great Tarot deck, every time I use this book, I discover a new insight. It is written clearly and laid out well for a beginner, but sophisticated and intelligent enough to continue to appeal to someone like me who has read everything else, too. While the authors are feminist, they are also very in tune with the non-political and the non-gender issues their readers are bringing. I guess if someone hates the idea of the potential power in women, or thinks violent patriarchy is the pinnacle of human development(!), they would be turned off by the authors'feminist approach. But most folks should find a lot to work with here!
