Re-visioning women and social change:: Where are the children?Barrie Thorne - 1987 - Gender and Society 1 (1):85-109.details Feminists have re-visioned women as active subjects in knowledge by granting them agency and diversity and by challenging divisions like public versus private.

Exhuming women's premarket duties in the care of the dead.Georganne Rundblad - 1995 - Gender and Society 9 (2):173-192.details This research provides a history of women's domestic duties in the care of the dead prior to its transformation into a male-dominated market activity. The author presents data on the position of importance women held in the premarket care of the dead as well as on the knowledge necessary to prepare the body for burial. Both the positions and the knowledge women held were later appropriated into the more “advanced” practices by the newly developing funeral industry in the mid-19th century; (...)
