About the Book
Jainism, like many other religions, operated under a patriarchal framework. However, it adopted a relatively liberal stance towards women in some areas. This book delves into whether Jainism truly practiced what it preached. Focusing on Jain women in Gujarat, India, it offers an epigraphical study that attempts to understand their world-view through their own sources—specifically, women’s inscriptions from the second millennium. The book examines how patriarchal ideals were modified over time and offers valuable insights into the intersection of religion, gender, and social change.
This study is particularly relevant for those interested in women's issues, epigraphy, and Jainism.
