An Ancient Collection ReimaginedComposed around the Buddha’s lifetime, the original
Therigatha (“Verses of the Elder Nuns”) contains the poems of the first Buddhist women: princesses and courtesans, tired wives of arranged marriages and the desperately in love, those born into limitless wealth and those born with nothing at allThe authors of the
Therigatha were women from every kind of background, but they all shared a deep-seated desire for awakening and liberation.
In
The First Free Women, Matty Weingast has reimagined this ancient collection and created an original work that takes his experience of the essence of each poem and brings forth in his own words the struggles and doubts, as well as the strength, perseverance, and profound compassion, embodied by these courageous women.
