This study examines how the concept of "Korean woman" underwent a
radical transformation in Korea's public discourse during the years
of Japanese colonialism. Theodore Jun Yoo shows that as women moved
out of traditional spheres to occupy new positions outside the
home, they encountered the pervasive control of the colonial state,
which sought to impose modernity on them. While some Korean women
conformed to the dictates of colonial hegemony, others took
deliberate pains to distinguish between what was "modern" (e.g.,
Western outfits) and thus legitimate, and what was "Japanese," and
thus illegitimate. Yoo argues that what made the experience of
these women unique was the dual confrontation with modernity itself
and with Japan as a colonial power.
