"A refreshing, experientially based, and enriching contribution of American women to Buddhism in the West."—Thubten Chodron, author of Buddhism for Beginners
"There are such loving, truthful, practical voices in this collection. . . . The writers lucidly express themselves on the Dharma and how it applies to their daily lives. . . . The challenges and the solutions are many and varied. Buddhism emerges as a practical way for women to deal with their complex lives."— Mandala Magazine, Editor's Choice
"As Western women in particular are increasingly able to experience Buddhist practices and teaching, their involvement with and contributions to the spiritual tradition are increasing. The time is certainly right for a book like Buddhism Through American Women's Eyes. It is a book of conversations for and about women. It arises from the grassroots movement which is working to make women better able to fully participate in Buddhist spiritual practice. Issues like the mixed signals sent to women about practicing Buddhism, the relationship of the spiritual practice to everyday life, and the lack of access to female interpretations of the teachings are explored by women who are struggling with those issues on a daily basis."— New Age Retailer
"Contributors do an excellent job of framing Buddhist philosophy within an everyday Western context, giving readers examples of Buddhism in practice, ranging from meditation to grief and death to relationships to abortion, among other topics. In addition to presenting the female voice within Buddhism, this book effectively illustrates Buddhist philosophy so that readers may fully comprehend the practical aspects of difficult concepts. A particularly nice chapter relates the experiences of several of the contributors as ordained priests and nuns in various Buddhist traditions."— Choice magazine
