<br/><br/> The Tibetan Nun Mingyur Peldrön: A Woman of Power and Privilege presents the life of Mingyur Peldrön (1699–1769), a Tibetan Buddhist nun and teacher from a powerful religious family. The book examines how she used her education, social position, and religious authority to overcome challenges, including exile during civil war, and to help rebuild her religious community. It also explores women’s leadership, gender, privilege, religious authority, and the history of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly the relationship between the Nyingma and Geluk traditions.
