摘要

This entry surveys the modest canon of writing attributed to women in medieval Sri Lanka (c. 300–1500 CE). It suggests some possible reasons for the size of that canon and discusses in turn three bodies of sources: early Pali-language chronicles; the Sīgiri “graffiti” poetry; and donative inscriptions of royal women.
