Review of the book: Sokthan Yeng Buddhist Feminism: Transforming Anger against Patriarchy. London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2020, xii + 152 pp. ISBN 978-3-030-51162-3

The importance of feminist ideology for modern culture and society is well known. There are also quite a few studies devoted to the role of the religious-philosophical systems of the East in the culture of the modern West. However, as far as we know, no one has yet studied the possible significance of the cultures of the East for feminist ideology. The ideology of feminism, in order to reinforce its positions, attracts, among other things, the Buddhist teaching, rethinking it so that it becomes a means of achieving the political goals of the feminist movement from an independent phenomenon of world culture. The book under review clearly shows how the concepts of anger and oppression developed in feminism, through the prism of which Buddhism is viewed, make it just one of the elements of feminist ideology.
