- Summary
- "Religion plays a central role in Thai society with Buddhism intertwined in the daily lives of the people. Religion also plays an important role in establishing gender boundaries. The growth in recent decades of self-governing nunneries and the increasing interest of Thai women in a Buddhist monastic life are notable changes in the religion - gender dynamic." "This anthropological study addresses religion and gender relations through the lens of the lives, actions, and roles in Thai society of an order of Buddhist nuns (mae chii). It presents a unique ethnography of Thai Buddhist nuns, examines what it implies to be a female ascetic in contemporary Thailand, and analyzes how the ordained state for women fits into the wider gender patterns found in Thai society."--Jacket
