      Exploring women's roles within the Pali tradition, this book analyzes their depiction in the Pali canon and commentaries, revealing a complex and sometimes contradictory narrative.

The examination highlights the contrast between societal perceptions and the doctrinal views on women's spiritual capabilities, offering a nuanced perspective on gender in early Buddhist texts.
