Buddhist women played an important and often not fully recognised part in the production of books and, more specifically, in the introduction of printing as a technological innovation: from the Pāla queen who sponsored the production of exquisite palm-leaf manuscripts of the Prajñāpāramitā in Eight Thousand Verses and the Pañcarakṣā at the turn of the first millennium CE (see Fromigatti 2013, 12–13), to the Chinese Empresses Wu Zetian (r. 690–705), considered to be the woman “who discovered printing”(Barrett 2008), to the Japanese Empress Shōtoku who sponsored printing in 8th century Japan (see Kornicki in this volume), to the Mongolian Empresses of the Yuan court patronising the printing of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures in the 13th and 14th centuries (Sherab Sangpo in this volume), to the innumerable Tibetan women who contributed in various capacities to the production of literary masterpieces of the Tibetan tradition. This article concentrates on the contribution of Tibetan women to the printing of books in the 15th and 16th centuries and draws some parallels with their European contemporaries. Chos kyi sgron ma (1422–1455) and Kun tu bzang mo (1464–1549) are some of the most prominent examples of Tibetan women who promoted cultural innovation in the Tibetan society of their time.

In exploring the lives of these Tibetan women, I have been assisted by a number of friends and colleagues, including Franz-Karl Ehrhard, Burkhard Quessel, Michela Clemente, Marta Sernesi, Sharshong Tsering Dawa, Porong Dawa and many more. I am also particularly indebted to Sylvia Huot for her advice on English medieval women. While I very much benefitted from their advice and information, all mistakes in the paper are, of course, mine. Finally, my partner Bruce Huett has provided invaluable assistance throughout the writing process.
