- Abstract / Summary
- These early Korean women immigrants fought for the freedom of their beloved homeland from one empire, Japan, and did so while living in another empire, the United States. Korean women immigrants contributed immeasurably to the Independence movement. Their nationalist efforts utilized both informal networks and formal organizations and in doing so they exerted significant public influence through their collective efforts to aid those killed or injured in the Independence movement, to raise awareness for Korean independence, and to preserve ethnic pride and cultural identity. Although still marginalized in both the public and scholarly discourse, early immigrant Korean women redefined traditional gender roles, preserved Korean culture while facilitating Americanization, and contributed in very important ways to promoting Korean independence, peace, and unity.
