An online map resource by Julia Zeh.
Excerpt: In addition to the Maps link which has posts related to the spaces occupied by Tibetan Buddhist women, this page is intended to give a little bit more information about the specific role women have played in Tibetan Buddhism.
I found it very difficult to study women in Tibet, primarily because Tibetan written history often does not contain facts or stories about women. Additionally, the role of women in Tibet is often kept secret, diminished, or hidden in some other way. In her book Traveller in Space, June Campbell describes this role with the phrases “the Secret Other,” “‘Otherness’ in Female Representation,” and “the Absent Mother.”
