Discover the rich spiritual lives of women within ancient Pāli Buddhism. This critical study examines women’s diverse roles—as nuns, mothers, and wives—as depicted in Pāli texts, exploring their spiritual agency and interdependence within the tradition. Pascale Engelmajer’s unique “critical sympathy” methodology offers fresh insights, contrasting doctrinal ideals with societal realities and highlighting women’s accessibility to spiritual liberation (nibbāṇa). An essential read for scholars, students of Buddhism, Asian religions, and anyone keen on understanding gender dynamics in India’s profound spiritual heritage.
