Virtues in Conflict
Tradition and the Korean Woman Today
A Confucian philosopher—a woman herself!—once adjured her readers to "Let a woman modestly yield to others; let her respect others; let her put others first, herself, last." What happens when this Confucian ideal meets with modern society is the subject of this timely collection of scholarly articles, specifically directed at the traditional behavioral heritage and contemporary response in Korea. It deserves a place on any comprehensive women's studies reading list, and is suitable for a general readership as well.
