Product Information
During the interwar era, the world of mainstream Protestant missions was in transition. The once-dominant paradigm of separate spheres - "women's work for women" - had lost its saliency, and professional women often entered work worlds largely peopled by men. Medical missionaries Belle Chon Oliver and Florence Murray and literature specialist Margaret Wrong were three such women. Using these women's experiences in colonial India, Korea, and sub-Saharan Africa as case studies, Modern Women Modernizing Men explores how professionalism, religion, and feminism came together to enable missionary women to become the colleagues and mentors of Western and non-Western men. The "modern" Christian woman missionary, the author demonstrates, was in fact more an agent of modernization than an angel of domesticity. This book - a bold exploration of changing gender, professional, and race relations in colonial missionary settings - will be of interest to scholars engaged in gender, women's, and postcolonial studies, as well as to readers interested in the history of the international missionary movement.

Reviews
Overall, Brouwer's book is an important contribution on many levels and will appeal to a wide range of readers. It promotes an understanding of the history of missions and the specific knowledge about the role of women in these missions and their 'feminist consciousness.', Ruth Compton Brouwer, who has previously published work on Canadian women missionaries, focuses, in this volume, on three individuals, Belle Choné Oliver, doctor. Administrator and advocate for Christian medical education in India, Florence Jessie Murrary, superintendent of a Mission Hospital in Japanese ruled Korea and, of most interest to readers of ARD, Margaret Wrong. Although Brouwer does not share the faith that motivated them and though she is sometimes critical of her subjects, the attitude underlying Modern Women Modernizing Men is one of respect and enthusiasm., Ruth Compton Brouwer has followed her previous work on women and missions in the 19th century with a meticulously researched and elegantly written book that brings the historical examination of "women's work" into the 20th century. Brouwer examines the import of that choice for readers in as thoughtful and careful a way as she seems to think each of these women lived their lives. Her study is of great value to the modern historian and its comparative worth makes it of value well beyond Canadian missions. Brouwer's meticulous research and notations make this a most valuable research document., An important interpretive work about women in overseas missions between the two world wars ... Brouwer is a master of condensed yet readable prose., "A fascinating examination of missions and modernization in the late colonial period ... Brouwer upholds her usual high standard of scholarship, with meticulous research in archives, interviews, and varieties of missionary literature. I recommend this book to everyone with a serious interest in mission history. -- Dana L. Robert, International Bulletin of Missionary Research Vol 27, No 4 "An important interpretive work about women in overseas missions between the two world wars ... Brouwer is a master of condensed yet readable prose." -- Canadian Literature, Summer 03 (reviewed by Margaret Prang) "Brouwer's deep admiration for these women is evident as she writes about them." -- Presbyterian History, Vol. 47, No.1 "The first study of women missionaries to focus on them as professionals with a strong commitment to newly emergent values of professionalism ... It is very important that studies of missions and gender move beyond the Victorian cult of domesticity as a dominant paradigm and this is one of the first studies to do so." -- Margo Gewurtz, Professor of Humanities and Women's Studies, York University "Ruth Compton Brouwer has followed her previous work on women and missions in the 19th century with a meticulously researched and elegantly written book that brings the historical examination of "women's work" into the 20th century.
