| This book traces the genealogy of modern womanhood in the encounters between Koreans and American Protestant missionaries in the early twentieth century, during Korea's colonization by Japan. Hyaeweol Choi shows that what it meant to be a "modern" Korean woman was deeply bound up in such diverse themes as Korean nationalism, Confucian gender practices, images of the West and Christianity, and growing desires for selfhood. Her historically specific, textured analysis sheds new light on the interplay between local and global politics of gender and modernity. Contents: Preface and acknowledgments -- A note on romanization and translations -- Re-orienting gender -- Gender equality, a new moral order -- The lure and danger of the public sphere -- Disciplining the modern body and mind -- Imagining the other: the new woman in missionary fiction -- Doing it for her self: "new women" in Korea -- Conclusion : new women, old ways | |
