Abstract
The aim of this research paper is to highlight the roles of women in Buddhism and to defend feminine power as a constructive force in the Buddha's path to Enlightenment. The researcher has focused on interpretative plasticity and compares the interpretation of recurrent themes against various shifting contexts. The study focuses on historical depictions of women in the Jatak:a Stories, where images have been categorized as negative, neutral and positive. Moreover, the construction of feminine power has also been categorized into three groups, namely, destructive, neutral and constructive. Such a presentation is extremely rare in modem academic institutions for the fact that a Buddhist scholar native to the forerunning Theravada nation of Burma has attempted on a most difficult topic with contemporary women's rights assertions, recounting and drawing allegofies of the past with the present.
