This book uses gender as a framework to offer unique insights into the socio-cultural foundations of Buddhism. It discusses the multiple roles played by women as patrons, practitioners, lay and monastic members and so on within Buddhism as well as individual experiences, and their equations with others and relationships at different levels.
