A. Schwartz—Kru Woman-Images as Evidenced in a Funeral Ceremony (Ivory Coast). Funerals provide Kru women with an opportunity for challenging the prevailing social order, that is a maie order that allows women, in spite of their contribution to its reproduction, little control on their own destiny. An analysis of four dirges reveals that this challenge is ambiguous, insofar as by letting women vent out their wrath and frustration, it acts as a safety valve rather than as anoutrightrejection of institutions, and especially of marriage.
