Review Quotes: 'Choi's ground-breaking study explores the transnational dynamics shaping the lives of elite Korean women under colonial rule. She traces how their active encounter with 'protestant modernity' at home and abroad nurtured their own rise as leaders who helped frame notions of domesticity, nationalism, and gender in 1920s-30s Korea.'
