Doebler, Bettie Anne; Warnicke, Retha M.
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v17 n4 p309-20 1986-87
Examined funeral sermons published in England from 1601 through 1630. Found pattern of male preference; fewer funeral sermons for women. In sermon text, laudatory and idealized comments about deceased reflected and helped to perpetuate sex differences in society. Number of times sermons were reprinted did not strongly reinforce pattern of discrimination. (Author/NB)
