"Dangerous Women" addresses the themes of Korean nationalism and
gender construction, as well as various issues related to the
colonialization and decolonialization of the Korean "nation,"
Leading scholars discuss how Korea, as a result of years of foreign
domination, can still be seen as an "imaginary" and "gendered"
nation--as a metaphor, even, for Korean women both there and
abroad. Together, these essays explore the troubled category of
"woman," placing it in the specific context of a marginalized and
colonized nation.
Yet Korean women are not configured here merely as metaphors for
an emasculated and enfantilized "homeland." They are also shown to
be by-products of a problematic gender construction that originates
in Korea, and extends even today to Korean communities beyond Asia.
Representations of Korean women still attempt to confine them to
the status of either mother or prostitute: "Dangerous Women"
rectifies that construction, offering a feminist intervention that
might recuperate womanhood.
