Conclusion New Women, Old Ways -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis book vividly 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.Seoul-California series in Korean studies.Global, area, and international archive.WomenKoreaHistoryWomen missionariesKoreaHistoryWomen in missionary workKoreaHistoryamerican missionaries.christianity.confucian practices.early 20th century.east meets west.gender and modernity.gender experiences.gender issues.global politics.historical.japanese empire.korea.korean colonization.korean nationalism.korean politics.korean studies.men and women.mission encounters.modern history.modern korea.modern women.nonfiction.protestant missionaries.religion and gender.selfhood.seoul.textbooks.womanhood.WomenHistory.Women missionariesHistory.Women in missionary workHistory.305.43/266023730519Choi Hyaeweol803294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790186403321Gender and mission encounters in Korea3671631UNINA
