Reviews

Hsiao-Lan Hu's work is an elegant contribution to Buddhist theology, as well as to feminist and peace studies, social ethics, and engaged Buddhism. Few have done the level of analysis she's done, bringing both Buddhist and feminist thought together to create something new. Even fewer have done it so well. This is a great book. - Sid Brown, author of The Journey of One Buddhist Nun: Even Against the Wind
