Making Fields of Merit: Buddhist Female Ascetics and Gendered Orders in Thailand - Gendering Asia
Monica Lindberg Falk
The growth of self-governing nunneries (samnak chii) and the increasing interest of Thai women in a Buddhist monastic life are notable changes in the religion-gender dynamic. This anthropological study addresses religion and gender relations through the lens of the lives, actions and role in Thai society of an order of Buddhist nuns (mae chii).
