Now I have a completely different question, also not on the current Zen topic. Can anyone recommend any reading on women in (any school of) Buddhism? I'm always interested in important female figures and feminist issues in any religion. I briefly joined the Catholic church for its veneration of Mary (aaaaand left because I found it to be full of misogynists). I'd like to read some detailed perspective on women in Buddhism or biographies of prominent women Buddhists.

Sorry for interrupting Zen chat.

To bring it back on topic :v:

Zen Women might be what you're looking for. I haven't read yet it myself but I've heard it's very good.

First Buddhist Women: Poems and Stories of Awakening might be another one to check out, it's about the first female disciples of the Buddha. Edit: I'm reading this one right now and it's really good.
