Thai Women in Buddhism
Chatsumarn Kabilsingh
Our Price: $12.00
" In recent years, we have been treated to a spate
of books and articles on the subject of women in Buddhism,
most of which tell us more about the authors' ideological
biases than about women or Buddhism. Prof. Chatsumarn
has written what is possibly the only book available on
Thai women in Buddhism, and has done a superb job of it."
