Review Women of Wisdom / Snow Lion Publications:Author of Women of Wisdom, Tsultrim Allione is one of the first American women to be ordained a nun in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. But blazing a trail for Buddhist women in the West required models of great women practitioners. In the first book of its kind, Allione brings together the biographies of six women mystics in this strong but little-known Tibetan tradition. Make that seven women, as Allione expands her own spiritual autobiography into 80 pages in this new printing. The dakini principle, the principle of feminine transformation, pervades each of these stories. A woman is beaten by her husband and father-in-law and has her son taken from her but later comes face to face with the boddhisattva Tara and becomes a great teacher. A wife who has always dreamed of practicing the dharma splits from her husband and travels the land receiving teachings. A poor cowherd is given a long-hidden sacred text and becomes dakini, herself. A spiritual biography embodies a teaching, and these stories enchant while successfully transmitting wisdom. -Brian Bruya, Amazon. [+]com.

Review Diana Mosley: A Biography of the Glamorous Mitford Sister Who Became Hitlers Friend and Married the Leader of Britains Fascists / Alfred A. Knopf:Diana Mosley was born Diana Freeman-Mitford, the fourth child of the famously eccentric Lord Redesdale and perhaps the most intellectually brilliant of all the mad, marvellous Mitford sisters. Along with intellect, she was also beautiful, glamorous and wealthy but she seemed to be prepared to sacrifice it all when she met and fell in love with Sir Oswald Mosley, the leader of British fascism. Jan Dalley offers us a fascinating portrait of a complex personality and an entire era in British history and is careful not to confuse Mosley's rather paternalistic, reactionary fascism with the genocidal and murderous variety that was Nazism. Unfortunately, Diana did rather admire Hitler too and has left flattering descriptions of, among other unlikely things, his sense of humour: His imitations of Mussolini were thought particularly droll. Other colourful characters revolve around the periphery of the story: Evelyn Waugh, Lord Berners, Bryan Guinness, the adorable Nancy Mitford. But it is Diana herself who commands our attention, with all her dark ambiguity and charm. -Christopher Hart.
