Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This thesis examines the Women's Bureau in South Korea in the early years of its founding (1946-48). Divided into five sections, this work surveys the Bureau's connections with Korean and American women's organizations; discursive tensions in the Bureau's publications and programs in envisioning women's roles in both private and public spheres, including the creation of the female police force and anti-prostitution campaigning; and the politics of women's suffrage in the 1948 general election.
