About this Item

Folio. One sheet 11.5 x 9.5 in., folded to form four pages. Printed and decorated in black. Three "poems" presented as religious/ideological tracts, "The Four Dimensions of the Sex," "Put the Blame on Woman," and, simply, "Woman." Very good. Lucille "Mother" Riker was the wife of the famous conman, polygamist, religious cult leader, white supremacist, four-time unsuccessful candidate for governor of California, and founder of both "Perfect Christian Divine Way (PCDW), and Holy City, California, once referred to as a Utopian Community, now a ghost town. During the time of the printing of this tract the Rikers were living and conducting a "Healing Institute" at three addresses on Hayes Street in San Francisco. William Riker was a White Supremacist who actively warned in his political tracts, The Emancipator: "keep your polluting hands off our White Race Women; they also belong only to the White Race Man. This is the true law of our original White Man's Constitution, these statements explain the real and true spirit of California.".
