Description
Key Features
The book combines historical analysis of medieval and ancient Jain texts with contemporary ethnographic research among sadhvis in Delhi and Jaipur.
Foregrounds women's agency and choice in religious life, presenting renunciation as a path to autonomy, freedom and spiritual well-being rather than withdrawal.
Published by Routledge as part of the South Asian History and Culture series, offering scholarly depth for academic and research audiences.
Addresses a long-standing gap in Jain studies by explaining the high numbers of female renouncers documented in historical records through direct testimony.
Explores the contrast between ascetic and household life as experienced and articulated by the women themselves, grounded in fieldwork data.
