| 520 | _a"Fifteen Years Among the Top-Knots; Or, Life in Korea" by Lillias H. Underwood is a personal narrative recounting experiences as a medical missionary in Korea, likely written in the early 20th century. The book provides insights into Underwood's journey from the United States to Korea, focusing on her challenges and observations while working in the context of the local culture, society, and the complexities of missionary work. As a strong-willed woman entering a foreign land, Underwood's story captures her initial encounters with Koreans and her early impressions of the country while establishing her medical and humanitarian efforts. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Mrs. Underwood's arrival in Chemulpo, Korea, where she is confronted with a stark contrast between Korean society and her homeland. As she travels to Seoul, Underwood shares vivid descriptions of the landscape, the plight of the local populace, and the unique architectural features of the city. Initially troubled by the squalor and poverty she witnesses, she expresses both determination and trepidation. Undeterred by her surroundings, Underwood embarks on her medical duties, striving to learn the language and connect with patients. Her early experiences, including her first interactions with the royal family and her reflections on the local customs and religious practices, set the stage for a rich recounting of her missionary work, intertwined with the cultural and social challenges of 19th-century Korea.
