Mama Mia!
The Mother Mary image is the counterpart to the Holy Smokes print. Here, Mother Mary is on a playing card, which is meant to symbolize how many religions have created bogus roles for women, playing them like a card so that they are socially controlled and mold into the roles that religious institutions create for them. Whether it's Eve causing Adam to eat the apple, to Mother Mary and her "immaculate conception", the women in these stories rarely play a leading role in the stories, but act as little cards that help the men in these tales win their games with God.
