It brings together a collection of essays by historians, anthropologists and philologists. The book shows how difficult it is to define the 'typical' widow, as the experiences of these women have differed so widely, not simply because of their different time periods and locations, but also becuase of their varying legal and religious status and economic conditions. The study is diverse with subjects ranging from: *Hindu wives who followed their husbands to the pyre * 606 $aWidowhood$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLife cycle, Human 615 0$aWidowhood 615 0$aLife cycle, Human. 676 $a305.48/9654/09 701 $aBremmer$b Jan N$0157056 701 $aBosch$b Lourens van den$f1944-$01553776 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783736903321 996 $aBetween poverty and the pyre$93814558 997 $aUNINA
