520 In the early twentieth century, a good number of college-
educated Protestant American women went abroad by taking
up missionary careers in teaching, nursing, and medicine.
Most often, their destination was China, which became a
major mission field for the U.S. Protestant missionary
movement as the United States emerged to become an
imperial power. These missionary women formed a cohort of
new women who sought to be liberated from traditional
gender roles. As educators and benevolent emancipators,
they attempted to transform Chinese women into self-
sufficient middle-class professional women just like
themselves. As Motoe Sasaki shows in Redemption and
Revolution, these aspirations ran parallel to and were in
conflict with those of the Chinese xin nüxing (New Women)
they encountered.The subjectivity of the New Woman was an
element of global modernity expressing gendered visions of
progress. At the same time it was closely intertwined with
the view of historical progress in the nation. Though
American and Chinese New Women emphasized individual
autonomy in that each sought to act as historical agents
for modern progress, their notions of subjectivity were in
different ways linked to the ideologies of historical
progress of their nations. Sasaki's transnational history
of these New Women explores the intersections of gender,
modernity, and national identity within the politics of
world history, where the nation-state increased its
presence as a universal unit in an ever-interconnecting
global context.
