“Even as these stones romanticize their death, the mortality and harrowing pain of Victorian women haunts these scenes. Without access to safe abortions or birth control, without proper medical care, sometimes without clean water to drink, every pregnancy was a risk, but one that women were expected to take on as their duty. The losses, too, were to be expected, and a whole iconography developed for 19th-century children’s tombstones, including sleeping lambs, doves, and rosebuds with their stems snapped. I sometimes remember these graves when women’s health rights are under attack, and how these women didn’t have a choice, and died from it. Carving memorials in pristine white washed away the blood and unpleasantness of their deaths, and presented a fantasy of its reward.”

— Allison C. Meier, “The Victorian Angel Guides of Death” @theoffingmag
