The Bible describes a variety of widows, both poor and rich, powerful and dependent. Under Roman law in this era, when a woman's father died, she would become legally independent and would conventionally inherit an equal share of his property along with her siblings. She controlled this property herself even if married. If her husband died, she would also recover her dowry, which would have been controlled, and possibly managed or invested, by her husband during their marriage. Thus a woman could actually become wealthier when her husband died.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> If Dorcas was a wealthy benefactress on the model of Mary Magdalene, then she nevertheless humbly sewed the clothes herself rather than simply buying them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death_and_burial_sites">Death and burial sites</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dorcas&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Death and burial sites"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to the <a href="/wiki/New_Testament" title="New Testament">New Testament</a>, Tabitha died in Joppa, at the house of <a href="/wiki/Simon_the_Tanner_(New_Testament)" title="Simon the Tanner (New Testament)">Simon the tanner</a>.
