520 |a Women have traditionally been important ritual agents with regard to death and dying and they still form the majority of care-givers for the dying in modern Western societies such as Finland. The article asks how women's ritual role and position has changed within modernity. While the first phase of modernity was very much based on the division of labour between doctor and chaplain, in the latter phase, new responsibilities have been delegated to women carers and nurses in the spiritual care of the dying. This process of change is analysed as an important example of de-differentiation (a concept borrowed from Grace Davie), whereby contemporary female agents are taking a critical position towards some key features of modernity. This change bears many complex religious and social political implications for women in a society like Finland.
