Description

This scholarly work explores the critical yet often overlooked role of women in the development of monastic Buddhism across early South Asia. By examining historical records, archaeological evidence, and religious texts, the book brings to light the experiences and contributions of female believers whose narratives have been marginalised in traditional Buddhist historiography. The study challenges conventional interpretations of Buddhist monasticism and reveals how women shaped religious practice, community life, and spiritual development during formative periods. Published by Routledge India as part of the Archaeology and Religion in South Asia series, this volume offers researchers, students, and scholars of Buddhism, South Asian history, and gender studies a comprehensive reassessment of women's agency and significance within religious institutions.

Key Features

Focuses on women's invisible yet fundamental contributions to early South Asian Buddhist monasticism and religious life.

Part of the Archaeology and Religion in South Asia series published by Routledge India.

Addresses scholarly gaps by repositioning women believers as active participants in monastic Buddhism's development.

Suitable for academic researchers, gender studies scholars, and students of South Asian religious history.

Challenges conventional interpretations of Buddhist history through evidence-based examination of female religious communities.
