The definitive feminist overview of women’s participation in American Buddhism. Created from a hundred interviews with women who pursue a Buddhist spiritual practice, featuring nearly eighty photographs, Turning gives an overview of women’s leadership in Buddhism, women’s Buddhist scholarship, women’s participation in communities, and difficulties with power abuse and sexual harassment in Buddhist centers. It reads like a giant convocation of women talking about their spiritual path, and offers a vibrant, upbeat picture of the American women who have chosen to practice within a Buddhist context. (Boston: Beacon Press, 1993. paperback, $16) |
