	Mitford
		The work grew out of her husband's observation that, in working with families of union employees, he noticed that the costs of funerals always matched the amount of the union death benefit-whether that was $1000 or $3000.
		Mitford and her husband Robert Treuhaft began to investigate funeral industry practices, and she wrote ironically and in detail about the many unnecessary services the bereaved were sold at a time of their greatest vulnerability.
		Mitford joins this list not only for her look at the commodification of death but also the development of a birth industry (The American Way of Birth) and her investigation of prisons (Kind and Usual Punishment.) As teachers of English, there's a lot we can learn from her development as a writer.

		Mitford belonged to a family of outspoken individualists, including her older sister, the novelist Nancy Mitford, who satirized her own family's peculiarities and their devotion to the fascist cause.
