The ,New Woman' and the Politics of Love, Marriage and Divorce in Colonial Korea

GENDER & HISTORY, Issue 2 2005
Theodore Jun Yoo
This study seeks to explore the changing discursive forces that competed to define Korean women's identity and roles within the context of the new spaces created by colonialism and modernity. It argues that a small coterie of literate women seized the initiative to enhance their education, define the politics of physical aesthetics and con-tribute to the debate about the changing gender roles and expectations in Korean society all under the guise of 'Westernisation' and progress. The emergence of these 'new women' challenged traditional notions of Korean womanhood and brought the 'woman question' to the forefront of public discourse. [source]

The New Woman in the New Millennium: Recent Trends in Criticism of New Woman Fiction

LITERATURE COMPASS (ELECTRONIC), Issue 1 2006
Ann Heilmann
This essay offers an overview of the current state of criticism on New Woman fiction. Starting with a brief survey of the critical perspectives established in the last thirty years of the twentieth century, it moves to a more detailed discussion of three trends since the turn of the millennium. As I argue, critical literature since 2000 has explored the specifically ,feminine' aesthetic of New Woman writers, and scrutinized the racialist and imperialist roots of New Woman thought. The recent move away from an exclusive concentration on white Anglo-American New Women has allowed important new insights into the international, ethnically diverse aspects of this fin-de-siècle and early twentieth-century movement.

In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy of gynaecological tumours at 3.0 Tesla

BJOG : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY, Issue 2 2009
SJ Booth
Background, Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) uses the same hardware as MR imaging and allows us to analyse the biochemistry of tissues in vivo. Published data for gynaecological lesions are limited and are largely based on MRS carried out at the lower magnetic field strength of 1.5 Tesla (T). Objective, The purpose of this study was to determine whether in vivo proton MRS could be performed at the higher magnetic field strength of 3 T to characterise the spectra of a variety of benign and malignant gynaecological lesions. Design, Prospective, non-randomised study. Setting, MRI department within a tertiary referral centre for gynaecological cancers. Sample, All women with a pelvic mass under going 3T MRI. Methods, We carried out MRS on nonrandomised women undergoing routine 3 T MRI within our MRI department during investigation for gynaecological lesions from February 2006 to April 2008. Only those women for whom histopathological data were available were included. Main outcome measures, The presence of choline detected by in vivo 3T MRS. Results, Eighty-seven women underwent MRS, 57 of whom had newly diagnosed neoplasms. MRS data for 39 of these new women (18 were excluded because of technical errors or missing data) were used to detect the presence of choline, an indicator of basement membrane turnover. Overall, choline was present in 13 of the 14 ovarian cancers, 8 of the 11 cervical tumours and all 4 of the uterine cancers. There was no statistical significant difference between choline levels in various lesion types (P= 0.735) or between benign and malignant disease (P= 0.550). Conclusions,In vivo MRS can be performed at 3 T to provide biochemical information on pelvic lesions. The way in which this information can be utilised is less clear but may be incorporated into monitoring tissue response in cancer treatments. [source]

,Die Neue Frau' in the Correspondence of Johanna Kinkel, Malwida von Meysenbug and Fanny Lewald

GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS, Issue 3 2004
Ruth Whittle
Johanna Kinkel (1810,58), Malwida von Meysenbug (1816,1903) and Fanny Lewald (1811,89) were three key female thinkers in Germany at the time of the Revolution of 1848/49. This article establishes the significance of their little known, in part unpublished, early correspondence and demonstrates the difficulty of any generalising account of ,women's history' and ,women's writing'. The exchanges between the three correspondents are shaped by a series of conflicting attitudes and pressures. On the one hand the correspondents wanted to help create a politically enlightened Germany and thus tended to project images of their addressees or themselves as ,new women'. On the other hand they were concerned to present, even to one another, a self-image that conformed to current, rather conservative, social norms and prescriptions. All three women found it difficult to sustain either image under pressure from the conflicts in their daily lives. Some of the reasons for the ultimate disappointment of their hopes for rapid change can be traced in this correspondence. [source]
