Being a Buddhist Nun: The Struggle for Enlightenment in the Himalayas Hardcover - 2004
by Kim Gutschow
This richly textured profile of a little-known culture offers the first ethnography of Tibetan Buddhist society from the perspective of its nuns. Gutschow lived for more than three years among these women, collecting their stories, observing their ways, and studying their lives. The result provides valuable insight into the relationship between women and religion in South Asia today.
