These women are part of a virtually unknown tradition in women's history and a rich genre of drug and altered-states literature.
This book is the first collection of women's writings on their experiences with mind-altering drugs, form the Victorian to the present post-psychedelic eras. The 'shamans' among the dozens of contributors communicate drugs' revelations, visions, and healing powers, like a primitive tribe's sorcerer. The 'mainline ladies' are the pleasure and oblivion seekers, the addicts and abusers.
'Shaman Woman, Mainline Lady' shows that, for a long time, women have experimented with drugs courageously, lived dangerously, and written about it eloquently.
