This limited edition fine press book and deck of fifty-two cards features women whose writing about romance, love, or sexuality has been banned, censored, or challenged either in their lifetime or posthumously, in their homeland or abroad.
Each card features either an illustration or a quote representative of the book. Original cover art or book illustrations were used if they were adaptable to fine press printing. The cards were designed with artwork that was from, or representational of, the time of publication. For the verso, the cards feature four illustrations adapted from cover designs by Sarah Wyman Whitman, an influential mid-nineteenth century American artist and book designer.
Several of these banned books may be unfamiliar to today’s readers. This presentation of authors spans countries, cultures, and centuries to provide a broad examination of women’s perspectives on romance, love, and sexuality. While the definitions and vocabulary have changed over the years, recurring themes and commonalities emerge from the voices presented here.
This publication includes a hand printed book and a deck of 52 illustrated cards in a custom box.
