This article uses the life and career of Parwati Soepangat as a case study to shed light on the narrative of Buddhist women in postcolonial Indonesia. It contends that, unlike Theravāda Buddhist‐majority nations in mainland Southeast Asia, Indonesia's lack of a patriarchal monastic authority allowed Buddhist women, like Parwati Soepangat, to emerge within the Indonesian Buddhayāna movement. This movement, advocating for inclusive and nonsectarian indigenous Buddhism, aimed to promote “Indonesian Buddhism” (agama Buddha Indonesia) as a diverse yet unified religion in harmony with the motto of “Unity in Diversity.” Through the examination of interviews, Buddhist publications, periodicals, and Parwati Soepangat's personal writings, this research delves into her dual minority status — both as a Buddhist and a woman — in a predominantly Muslim nation. As this article will illustrate, Parwati Soepangat championed the concept of “Buddhist feminist theology” (teologi feminis Buddha) and simultaneously advocated for gender equality and women's empowerment as strategic approaches to propagate Buddhist teachings throughout Indonesia and amplify women's participation in the Indonesian Buddhayāna movement.
本文以帕瓦蒂-苏潘加（Parwati Soepangat）的生平和职业生涯为案例，揭示了后殖民时期印度尼西亚佛教女性的故事。文章认为，与东南亚大陆以小乘佛教为主的国家不同，印尼缺乏父权制的寺院权威，这使得像帕瓦蒂-苏潘加特这样的女性佛教徒得以在印尼佛教运动中崭露头角。该运动倡导包容和非教派性的本土佛教，旨在将 "印尼佛教"（agama Buddha Indonesia）推广为一种多样但统一的宗教，与 "多样性中的统一 "的座右铭相一致。本研究通过考察访谈、佛教出版物、期刊和帕瓦蒂-苏潘加特的个人著作，深入探讨了她在一个穆斯林占主导地位的国家中作为佛教徒和女性的双重少数民族身份。本文将说明，帕瓦蒂-苏潘加特倡导 "佛教女性主义神学"（teologi feminis Buddha）的概念，同时提倡性别平等和妇女赋权，以此作为在印尼全国传播佛教教义和扩大妇女参与印尼佛教运动的战略方法。

The subject of this article is the lived religion of lay Catholics devoted to the woman described as one of the greatest saints of the modern era, Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, known as Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897). It draws on letters written to the Lisieux Carmel in Normandy at the time of the Munich crisis in 1938. Much scholarship on the laity in the interwar years concerns itself with renewal and militancy in the public sphere. By contrast, the body of evidence at hand provides insights into continuities in established forms of devotion and into the religious thinking of the kinds of believers about whom we know relatively little. I argue that Catholics influenced by Thérèse's teachings, notably the “Little Way” and her “Spirituality of the Ordinary,” modelled the saint's destabilisation of the active/contemplative (or public/private) dichotomy. The letters reveal the entanglement of the spiritual and the secular in the lives of ordinary Catholics and how, after Thérèse, they participated in the Christian animation of society beyond the home. In their writing we also see evidence of the correspondents' attachment to the universal Church when they felt, acutely, the uncertainties of the international situation.

“The first important point is to win the young women with whom we work,” explains an early campaign newsletter from the women's English Young Christian Workers (YCW) Movement. In a context where the Catholic community was still a defensive minority, the outward looking mission of the YCW was remarkable and unique. The Movement's praxis was particularly distinctive, focused on a demographic group, working‐class girls and young women, who held little significance in either Church or society. The YCW engaged them as apostles and activists, challenging ecclesial and social assumptions and expectations. This paper draws material from YCW archives and oral interviews to argue that what YCW offered young women in the 1940s–1960s expressed an ecclesiological vision that was ahead of its time. The YCW empowered them to be leaders in a Church where women still rarely spoke or held leadership roles. It also nudged them into a confident construction of their citizenship and agency within secular contexts. This is significant in relation to how the English Catholic Church negotiated its restored presence in a protestant state but is barely recognised in existing historical analysis. The YCW's “leaven in the dough” model of activism within workplaces and other political domains deserves greater notice.
