The struggle for women’s empowerment happens in many eras and many lands. In Barbara McHugh’s BRIDE OF THE BUDDHA it’s captured through the factual/fictional narrative of Yasi/Ananda, Siddhartha’s (soon, Buddha) wife who is abandoned in her husband’s search for enlightenment. Soon, she re-kindles her own life journey, focusing on the holy life, renouncing self. Lyrical descriptions of meditation intersect with realistic dialogue, instructing reader’s curious about the ways of this religion.
