Description of Escaping the World
Based on ethnographic fieldwork in north India, this book examines the gendered imagery proffered by Jainism, analyses the institutional framework of female mendicancy, and listens closely to the voice of the nuns to offer a new understanding of why and how women are drawn towards renunciation.
