Based largely on private papers and mission reports of the missionaries, the author explores the life and work of the American women missionaries in the first quarter century of the Protestant mission in Korea. This book brings a new light to the history of Protestantism in Korea by revealing the identity and activities of the women missionaries, as well as the level of religious and social impact made by their presence and work in Korea. 606 $aWomen missionaries$zKorea$vBiography 606 $aWomen missionaries$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen missionaries$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01178158 607 $aKorea$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 615 0$aWomen missionaries 615 0$aWomen missionaries 615 7$aWomen missionaries. 676 $a266/.0237305190922 676 $a266.0237305190922 700 $aAhn$b Katherine H.
