On Buddhism After Patriarchy

Gross, Rita M. Buddhism after Patriarchy : A Feminist History, Analysis, and Reconstruction of Buddhism [in English].  Albany, N.Y: State University of New York Press, 1993.

So far, it is I guess more helpful then

Gross, Rita M. A Garland of Feminist Reflections : Forty Years of Religious Exploration [in English].  Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009.

Was, but still not SUPER helpful. I am not looking for diadantic reflections on feminism, or anything of the sort. I can't believe I still have so much to read of this book. I have no idea how I am going to organize this paper, or how I am going to get 12 pages of meaningful material by Thursday. It's saturday.

I want to do well on this paper, I want it to be helpful for the work I want to do. Its just super frusterating, because I feel like I keep finding the same uniform "insights" that do not have evidence to back them up other than the Therigata, which I keep reminding myself I need to read, but then I start thinking about how I want to read it in Pali, then I think about that book I checked out before... I should find the citation for that book. I don't remember what it was called....

Looking. Cannot find it. Wish I had turned on the 'keep track of what I have checked out' feature on my merlin a long time ago...

Sigh. Can't figure it out. hopefully if I go wander around that part of Ellis for long enough, whoever has it checked out will turn it back in and it will be there. Or I could go look at that paper I wrote for signe's class last semester... I think I must have cited it in there. I wish someone would have told me about endnote semesters ago. Thank god for endnote. Also for Rabia. <3

That paper isn't on my computer I don't think, it's on my hard drive. I give up.

I should check and not give up. And T is probably right, if I am feeling productive, I should probs keep being productive because who knows how long this will last. 

SO MUCH READING TO DO. MUST READ ALL THE THINGS. AND PROCESS THEM INTELLIGENTLY.

>_<
