End This Suffering, Too | June 16, 2014
Buddhism is, of course, a tradition
that strives to end suffering, but concern with the suffering that is
caused by gender stereotypes, constrictive narratives, and
discriminatory customs is relatively new, at least in its public
discourse. How women’s lives have been marginalized from the Buddhist
narrative is still being discovered, acknowledged, and remedied.
—Mary Fowles, “Roused from a Dream”
