Widows and Orphans




Who thought up these typography terms? 
These terms make me pause seeing as between the two of us, I'm the widow and she's the orphan. Even in these days, it seems unusual to be walking this path. 

Wonder what it was like in the early days of typesetting  for real-life widows and orphans? Were there superstitions? Where they to be feared?
