I have counted up the figures on the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck by gender. (The images on learntarot.com do not have one single person of color. Not one.) There are 123 altogether, if we don't count at all the wedding party on the Four of Wands (I can't get a proper head count on those from the image on learntarot.com).
Below the cut is a table with my counts, divided into rows by card sorted by suit and into columns by gender: "I" is "indeterminate" (I couldn't identify the gender of the figure) and "O" for "other" is angels and devils and disembodied hands—but not animals. "T" totals the figures on that card.
I hope you all find this useful!
( poorly formatted table that I should fix to be not-tab-delimited on account of Dreamwidth doesn't like tab characters; sorry about this )
