Our choice of the Waite-Smith deck has to do with our understanding of what Tarot is, our beliefs about its historical lineage. our conception of its use and function. We feel that the poser of the Tarot derives from an ancient and complex symbology that represents all aspects, forces, stages, configurations in our psychic lives - a totality of human experience. If we look at its ancestry we will see that the Tarot is a particularly appropriate vehicle for women with feminist consciousness. At its very core it is synchronous with that vision which honors the female principle as a creative and dynamic force in the universe. We have also included the traditional meanings of the cards so that the reader herself may compare the distinctiveness of the feminist interpretations, at the same time noting their kinship with the historical Tarot.

Back in print, this is the fantastic story of a group of women who have designed a world of peace and preserved a rich heritage of memory that ultimately changes the world they live in. 
In the futuristic Wanderground, men remain in the cities, while many women who have been persecuted flee to the hills. There they share their stories of survival, remembrance, and self-discovery. Years later, expressing their freedom in unique ways, the hill women have gained telepathic abilities and flying techniques, while women in the cities still struggle for enlightenment. Not only are readers led to marvel at these "supernatural" abilities, they are led to examine their own views on womanhood and how women are similar to and different from men.

“ZAMI is a fast-moving chronicle. From the author's vivid childhood memories in Harlem to her coming of age in the late 1950s, the nature of Audre Lorde's work is cyclical. It especially relates the linkage of women who have shaped her . . . Lorde brings into play her craft of lush description and characterization. It keeps unfolding page after page.”—Off Our Backs
