Tessa Bartholomeusz explores the relationship between female world-renunciation in Buddhist Sri Lanka and attitudes about women and the religious vocation more generally. A lively history of Buddhist female renouncers on the island is combined with insights derived from the experiences of modern Buddhist women.
