But I don't quite understand what we'll be doing if it's a standard deck of cards. Why not just buy "Bicycle."
A queen is always necessary. The mother ruling figure, she is meant to ensure continuation of the line. But no independent girl-chillds. Except maybe Joan of Arc, but she had to dress up like a boy then die.

kathy, i really wish i could include the princesses, but this is a standard

maybe candaces' card game could benefit from them, but as they are not
included in the
standard 52 card deck that you can buy almost anywhere in the world, they
hold no
relevance for the project.
i did enjoy the story about the cards though. i would also blame a
patriarchal lean to have the Princess eliminated, but that might be jumping
the gun/reactionary/slant of facts to suit reaction, as what about the
Queen? i'm busy reading a book called Whores In History. relies much on
the patriarchal arguement, but with a substantial fact finding and reference
into how the male dominated system was actively squashing the original
matriarchal rule.
don't know where that came from, but...
if you would care to participate in the deck of cards, then let me know.
thanks,
