Uncover the spiritual liberation of Buddhist women through an in-depth exploration of birth discourse in Indian Buddhism.

Understand how perceptions of femininity paved a unique path to freedom for ordained nuns and monastic practitioners. A must-read for those studying Buddhism, South Asian religion, and gender studies.
