Here, for the first time, we read of women of sincere aspirations and earnest will, seeking the more, the better, in life.For the study of the laywomen the author has exploited the material found in the Canonical literature, the Commentaries thereon, the Jatakas and the Milindapanha, while most of the material for the account of the almswomen is gathered from the Vinaya-pitaka (especially the Bhikkhuni-Khandhaka and Bhikkhuni-Vibhanga), the Therigatha and the commen-taries, references scattered throughout Pali literature have also contributed to this account.The book is divided into two parts bound in one Volume. Part I (Chs. 1-2) depicts the laywomen as the mother, daughter, wife, widow and worker. Part II (Chs. 1-5) deals with the almswomen, their admission into the Order, the Eight chief Rules, Therigatha, Life in the Order, while Chs. 5 and 5 of this part are further divided into parts or sections.Isaline Blew Horner was one of the Presidents of the Pali Text Society, Oxford and an honorary Fellow of the International Association of Buddhist Studies.
