We'll take a look at the history of women in Buddhism, focusing mainly on the period of the Buddha and his immediate followers. Then we'll spend a little time looking at later developments, before finishing up with the fascinating story of an early nun who is responsible for one of the most famous analogies in all of Buddhism.
