Exploring the Pali tradition, this book delves into the complex and often contradictory representations of women within the Pali canon and its commentaries. It contextualizes these roles against the backdrop of socio-religious influences, incorporating insights from early brahmanical literature and epigraphical evidence. The analysis highlights the tension between these portrayals and the doctrinal views of women's spiritual capabilities, offering a nuanced perspective on gender in early Buddhist texts.
