About the Book:
At the heart of the Buddhist social world lies an alternative system of salvation introduced by the Buddha. This book delves into this alternative by examining the relationship between gender and history in Buddhist society, exploring the roots of subordination and hierarchical differences between men and women, monks and nuns during this era. Through a detailed analysis of three key Buddhist textual traditions—the Jatakas, the Therigatha, and the Theragatha—the book investigates representations of marriage and gender relations in a period marked by profound economic, political, material, and social changes.
