Rachel Grace Pollack was an American science fiction author, comic book writer, and expert on divinatory tarot. Pollack was a great influence on the women's spirituality movement.
Pollack has some interesting takes on the cards, many that I haven't read or thought of on my own before. I love the spreads in the back and am planning on using some of them (especially the "Do/Don't Do" spread) in the future. Going into this book I did not realize that it was written for high school students until I started reading about exams, parents, parties, pressures, etc. This will come in handy when I read for someone who is younger.
