The new work is the most comprehensive study to date of the status  role  and activities of Korean women through the countrys long history. Creditably the major substance is drawn form valuable original sources. The book particularly emphasizes the modern period which begins with foreign powers in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The complicated currents of political ad social development have been succinctly interpreted for the reader without undue detail.  The story of Korean women-those of the upper class and those of the lower order  those in the private domain and those in the public domain-reveals certain traits. On the one hand is found a state of subjugation and segregation  on the other a state of self-reliance and full social participation. Women themselves helped to bring about needed changes in many areas  but particularly in the field of education. Here women proved to be a source of inspiration  wisdom  and power. The book is an attempt to present women of Korean in historic perspective in the hope that a greater understanding of their experiences will inspire others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966251266101,"sku":"ByrdShop_8973001167","price":542.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788973001163.jpg?v=1770558609","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/women-of-korea-a-history-from-ancient-times-to-1945","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
