Conclusion

Summary

This concluding chapter offers some insights into the complex interplay between local, national, and transnational forces in the making of modern Korea during Japanese colonial rule with a central focus on gender and global Christianity. Highlighting the significant role of the global Christian network in fashioning modern gender relations, the chapter considers the ways in which the network both enabled and hindered major shifts in identity that marked the life and work of women discussed in the book. It also discusses the contribution of the book to the broader dialogue concerning gender and empire, and religion and modernity.
