About the book
Core Buddhist doctrines and ethics provide no justification for the notion that women are inferior to men, but Buddhism was born and developed in societies that held traditional views of women. Social and cultural norms that position women as inferior to men have found their way into Buddhist tradition and some Buddhist texts.

This book gives access to rarely told stories of the many inspiring Buddhist women who ignored or fought against attempted constraint to become devoted disciples, practitioners, and esteemed teachers.

Come and find out more and hear their stories.
