by KarenPechilis (Author)
Features essays that look at the phenomenon of the female guru both in its original Indian context, where Hindu women leaders have been unusual but not unknown, and as it has evolved on the American scene. Each chapter is devoted to a particular female guru. The biographies of these special women describe issues of gender and religious authority.
