"The greatest strength of this text is the diversity of approaches.
Because the authors are experts in a variety of fields, the volume
is highly interdisciplinary. Another strength is that the authors
delineate key terms and theoretical models related to topics such
as feminism, immigration, and identity formation, thus allowing
neophyte scholars to value the richness of data and
analysis....Korean American Women provides a thoughtful and diverse
approach to analyzing critically Korean American females'
relationship to Korean men, feminism, and American society in
general. The text is an extremely welcome addition to the body of
both feminist and ethnic studies literature with its detailed
information on both exigent and theoretical issues touching Korean
American women's lives. Korean American Women will be of value to
scholars in many disciplines, including gender studies, demography,
psychology, sociology, and ethic studies."-Gender & Society
