Traveler in Space: In Search of Female Identity in Tibetan Buddhism

Description

While Buddhism enjoys much popularity in the West, Tibetan Buddhism remains a mystery for many. The role of women within this religion remains an even greater mystery. In this study, both the religion itself and the role of women within its philosophy and symbolism are examined by an author with a unique personal experience of this branch of Buddhism. Drawing on psychoanalytic and feminist theory, she provides a Western perspective on an Eastern philosophy.
