| Summary: | This article introduces the missionary work of Lillias Horton Underwood (1851-1921) at different stages of her life. The goal is to elaborate her mission and work regarding education objectively. This article is comprised of two major parts: a brief introduction to her life, delineated according to her marital status, and an examination of her major contributions in seeking gender justice for women in mission, developing women's ministry through evangelization, and establishing institutions for higher education for young Koreans under Japanese colonialism. Methodologically, this article is first descriptive. It approaches the topic of Underwood's life in the fashion of hagiographic biography. Second, it is analytical. It offers an evaluation of her work in its historical context. Overall, she should not be remembered as Mrs. Underwood, but as Lillias Horton Underwood, who played a multidimensional role in the establishment of early Korean Christianity and higher education. |
