A comparative study of the Vinaya (or "rule", in the Catholic sense) of the two surviving traditions of Buddhist nuns. Mainly for those who are ordained nuns (or considering becoming one) OR those with a deep interest in Vinaya.

Contains the transcription of several presentations from the first International Conference on Buddhist nuns. A wide-ranging look at the issues and concerns that inform the life of ordained Buddhist women in both East and West. A landmark book.

This is a fantastic book of essays by American woman about their experience of this Eastern religion. I've read it a couple of times, and expect to read it again one of these days. It does a nice job of discussing some of the challenges, and joys, of practicing Buddhism in the context of modern-day America.
