Product Description

This book traces the genealogy of modern womanhood in the encounters between Koreans and American Protestant missionaries in the early twentieth century. Hyaeweol Choi's textured, historically specific analysis shows that what it meant to be a 'modern' Korean woman was deeply bound up in Korean nationalism, Confucian gender practices, images of the West and Christianity, and growing desires for selfhood.
