This is the study of a small group of Tibetan Buddhists called the Nyishangba who have maintained an egalitarian culture, where women own land and have equal rights, including in social and religious institutions, and where the usual subordination of women does not appear to occur.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Drawing threads of individual oral histories together with detailed ethnographic inquiry, Watkins weaves a colorful background to her analysis of gender relations among the Nyeshangte of the Nepal Himalaya.... The author traces through the history of the Nyeshangte people, their traditional trading practices and the historical and modern factors which have transformed their way of life.
