This essay takes a look at new women phenomenon of early twentieth century. Essentially situating them in the context of vernacular modernism and visual modern, it tackles issues of gender, modernity, and visuality. Particularly focusing on new women vividly captured in the visual culture of the period in East Asia, it invites a further notion of colonial modernity vis a vis gender configuration in the non-west. The relevant films of China, Japan, and Korea are thrown into a relief in films such as Mimong (Korea), Crossroads (China) and What did the lady forget (Japan)? By doing trans-Asian reading of new women in this mode, the essay tries to deliver a knotty issue of representation and presentation as well as a political signification of habit change of reading women in general in conjunctions with an emergence and a gradual transformation of new women of the period.
