This specially commissioned volume explores the struggles and accomplishments of women from both past and present-day Tibet. Here are queens from the imperial period, yoginis and religious teachers of medieval times, Buddhist nuns, oracles, political workers, medical doctors, and performing artists. Most of the chapters focus on the lives of the individual women, whether from textual sources or from anthropological data, and show that Tibetan women have found ways to assume leadership roles and to explore educational opportunities in a variety of contexts.
