Gross has long been acknowledged as a founder in the field of feminist theology. One of the earliest scholars in religious studies to discover how feminism affects that discipline, she is recognized as preeminent in Buddhist feminist theology. The essays in A Garland of Feminist Reflections represent the major aspects of her work and provide an overview of her methodology in women's studies in religion and feminism. The introductory article, written specifically for this volume, summarizes the conclusions Gross has reached about gender and feminism after forty years of searching and exploring, and the autobiography, also written for this volume, narrates how those conclusions were reached. These articles reveal the range of scholarship and reflection found in Rita M. Gross's work and demonstrate how feminist scholars in the 1970's shifted the paradigm away from an androcentric model of humanity and forever changed the way we study religion. 606 $aFeminist theology 606 $aWomen$xReligious aspects 606 $aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 606 $aBuddhism$xDoctrines 610 $aandrocentric model of humanity. 610 $aandrocentrism. 610 $aandrogyny. 610 $aaustralia. 610 $aauthority. 610 $aautobiography. 610 $abuddhism. 610 $abuddhist feminist theology. 610 $achildbirth. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminist buddhism. 610 $afeminist theology. 610 $agender roles. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahinduism. 610 $ahistory of religions. 610 $ajewish theology. 610 $ajudaism. 610 $amenstruation. 610 $areligion and feminism. 610 $areligious exploration. 610 $areligious practices. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $aritual. 610 $atheology of religions. 610 $atheology. 610 $avajrayana buddhist ritual. 610 $awomen studies. 610 $ayeshe tsogyel. 615 0$aFeminist theology. 615 0$aWomen$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 615 0$aBuddhism$xDoctrines. 676 $a202.082 700 $aGross$b Rita M$0792710 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813705703321 996 $aA garland of feminist reflections$94005542 997 $aUNINA
