SUMMARY
"BEING A BUDDHIST NUN is a valuable account of the life of nuns in the Himalayan valley of Zanskar, a region of Ladakh in north-west India....Although [Gutschow] focuses on the often lamentable ways in which nuns suffer discrimination, she is not unduly disrespectful of the monastic system to which they belong; rather she subjects it to a prolonged and penetrating examination and interpretation."Gutschow, Kim is the author of 'Being a Buddhist Nun The Struggle for Enlightenment in the Himalayas', published 2004 under ISBN 9780674012875 and ISBN 0674012879.
