Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
While the juxtaposition of feminism and Buddhism might seem peculiar, this book is delightfully free of cant. The author offers examples of her experiences as a lesbian spiritual seeker who at the age of 60 has arrived at a good balance of goals. Since nearly all religions suffer from patriarchal bias, Boucher's search has not been easy, and any reader can relate to it. Because of her maturity and sincerity, the usual feminist outrage has faded into Buddhist calm detachment and Boucher's determined focus on her practice. Boucher offers mediation techniques, with attention to such goddesses as Kwan Yin and Tara to coincide with timeless Buddhist principles. There is a helpful annotated and international directory of women's Buddhist centers and teachers, as well as a brief bibliography. Recommended for all libraries.?Jeanne S. Bagby, formerly Tucson P.L., Ariz.

Wonderful Early Guide
1. September 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
When I began studying Buddhism, I found myself wondering how my feminist philosophies would fit into the Buddhist view. This book was a great help in exploring Buddhism as it relates to women, written in an almost conversational tone by Sandy Boucher, who has been practicing for over 20 years.
This is not a definitive book, but one very helpful in introducing Buddhism to women. It's an excellent read, and comforting in its own way. I'm on my second read through, and still think this is one of my favorite books on Buddhism.

Pages with out print - just blank
1. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There were many pages in the middle of the book that had no print on them. I think I would not purchase this book at any price if I knew that it was incomplete.
I think the seller should say that pages were blank.

Mostly one sect;Very good research into available resources.
28. November 1997
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
She has a nice general overview about the history of Buddhism, even though the rest of the book address one direction. That's fine. I esp. liked her comparisons of different Buddhist meetings/sessions (found an error on page 30: scroll is the gohonzon, page 31: cabinet is the butsudan, not the gohonzon). I found the description of the roles of women in Buddhism also very helpful. I never knew there was a sect in Korea with NUNS!
