Spirituality and the Women's Movement have related histories. Many women found that séances and fortunetelling helped break them from the limitations of their marriages and social lives, if only briefly. Naturally, they turned to the confident and promising work of Women's Liberation. This title is a satire on the two, although, according to Bleiler, it is a bit overcooked.
