Gyatso, Janet - Havnevik, Hanna : Women in Tibet
- description
- additional information
This volume explores the struggles and accomplishments of women from both past and present-day Tibet: queens from the imperial period, yoginis and religious teachers of medieval times, Buddhist nuns, oracles, political workers, medical doctors, and performing artists. Most of the essays focus on the lives of individual women, whether from textual sources or from anthropological data, and show that Tibetan women have apparently enjoyed more freedom than women in many other Asian countries.
