Burning Women A Global History of Widow Sacrifice from Ancient Times to The Present

---

This book traces the global history of widow sacrifice, from its ancient ritual practices to its symbolic and cultural legacies in the present. It explores how traditions such as sati reflect patriarchal control over women’s bodies and identities, while also examining resistance and reform movements that challenged these practices. By situating widow sacrifice within broader historical, religious, and social contexts, the book reveals its enduring impact on gender relations and women’s rights worldwide.
