Charming Cadavers - Horrific Figurations of the Feminine in Indian Buddhist Hagiographic Literature

Résumé

In this study of sexuality, desire, the body and women, Liz Wilson investigates first-millennium Buddhist notions of spirituality. She argues that despite the marginal role women played in monastic life, they occupied a very conspicuous place in Buddhist hagiographic literature.
