- Abstract:
Examines a Cretan funeral in detailed context to see connections between the personal dilemmas of a young woman in mourning, the symbolic resources on which she draws, and her subsequent pursuit of prestige and emancipation. Ambiguities of text production; Woman's concern at being left an orphan in a world hostile to women; Protest and rejection of the definition of herself as a woman limited by her gender.
