Abstract
Choi explores the complex nature of gendered modernity with special focus on the discursive construction of modern womanhood by missionaries. She examines the novel, The Concubine, by Ellasue Canter Wagner to illuminate how Protestant missionaries in early-twentieth-century Korea worked to create a new kind of woman who bore more resemblance to the Victorian True Woman than she did to the New Woman of Korea or the US.
