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 nxing (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. Sasakis 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.

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is often compared to a journey. The life of this book, from inception to completion, has very much been a kind of journey for me. Over the course of writing, I have lived in four different countries and have incurred tremendous debt to a wide variety of individuals and institutions. I began this project in the history department of the Johns Hopkins University. From the initial stages of this project until its completion, Dorothy Ross and Paul Kramer offered me insightful guidance and advice. Without their long-standing support and encouragement, this book would not have been possible. I am also greatly indebted to Judith Walkowitz and Tobie Meyer-Fong, who not only generously offered valuable scholarly comments and suggestions but also inspired me to become a female, professional academic.

I feel fortunate to have been affiliated with the gender studies division at the Australian National University when I was writing this book, and I am particularly grateful to Tamara Jacka, Margaret Jolly, and Rosanne Kennedy for their many stimulating ideas and suggestions. I also had the privilege of spending time with China scholars at Leiden University in the Netherlands. I am especially grateful to Francesca Del Lago for her confidence in the potential of this book project.

Like all historians, I received kind support and assistance from librarians and archivists. This book has been made possible by the helpful staff and access to archival records at the Yale Divinity School Library, the Rockefeller Archives Center, the World YWCA Archives in Geneva, the YWCA of the U.S.A., the Presbyterian Historical Society Archives, the Burke Library of Union Theological Seminary, the Yale University Sterling Memorial Library, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, the Wellesley College Archives, the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Rare Books and Manuscripts Division at the New York Public Library, and the Cornell Medical Center Archives. I am also indebted to the anonymous readers of Cornell University Press for their helpful comments and suggestions. I thank Michael McGandy, who guided me patiently through the publishing process.

I must also thank the following friends at Osaka University, the Johns Hopkins University, the Australian National University, and Leiden University for their support: Tim Amos, Anna Beerens, Mary Kilcline-Cody, Amy Feng, Guo Hui, Guo Jie, Kyoko Matsukawa, Hiroko Matsuda, Kyoung-hee Moon, Bradley and Camelia Naranch, Saeyoung Park, Sachiko Tanuma, Lucy Tatman, and Vanessa Ward. I also thank Kei Tanaka, Mari Yoshihara, Junji Koizumi, Satoshi Nakagawa, Naoki Kasuga, and my current colleagues at Hosei University in Tokyo.

My parents and sister, Toshihide, Mutsuko, and Kaori Sasaki, and my in-laws, the late Edwin Gayle and Emily Gayle, deserve special thanks for their moral support. My last, and greatest, debt of gratitude is to my husband, Curtis Anderson Gayle, who continuously encourages and supports me with his great wit and humor.
