Feminist Card Games, pt. 1: Great Women

So here’s an image that stopped me in my tracks.

Great Women is a card game that came out in 1979. From what I’ve been able to discern, it had at least three variations, Foremothers, Founders and Firsts, and Poets and Writers.

This Stuff Mom Never Told You article attempted to track down the rules, and surmised it’s a card-matching game played a bit like rummy. You can still occasionally find copies on eBay, or even on Amazon. Anyone tried it? Thoughts?
