One of the very best things about the Internet is the people. I recently got an email from Kim Gutschow, mama to extremely premature twins, and also film-maker, writer and medical anthropologist, from buddist mama. I’ve added Kim’s book, Being a Buddhist Nun: The Struggle for Enlightenment in the Himalayas (Harvard University Press, 2004) to my list of must-reads, and she’s currently working on a new project about the crisis in obstetrics in the US and rural India. I love reading about women from all walks of life, all over the world, especially mothers.
Thanks for getting in touch, Kim!
Thanks for the book info and blog link. Her life is fascinating.
