Overview
Examining the compelling and often poignant connection between women and the material culture of death, this collection looks at the objects women make, the images they keep, the practices they use or are responsible for, and the places they inhabit and construct through ritual and custom. Women's material practices are explored as well as women's affective responses and sentimental labor that mark their expected and unexpected participation in the social practices surrounding death and the dead.
