In Japanese, the literal translation of a widow – that is, a woman who has outlived her husband — is ‘she who has not died yet.’For millennia, widows have occupied the margins of society: banished to the wilderness, silenced and shrouded in black or white. Across cultures, laws and customs have maligned them as witches, dependants or objects of pity.In some traditions, widows are expected to remarry within the husband’s family or, in extreme cases, commit self-immolation – expectations never placed on men. Yet widowhood has also produced unexpected freedoms, among them financial and sexual autonomy – rights denied to married women.Drawing on sources from ancient Egypt and Greece to Africa, the Americas and beyond, eminent cultural historian Mineke Schipper reveals a global legacy of shame, resilience and defiance. Rich in striking detail, Widows uncovers the last feminist taboo – one that the world would prefer not to talk about.
