What reading level is My Voyage in Korea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The degree of seclusion of a Korean woman depends upon the position she holds in society. There is the aristocracy, the respectable and the disreputable classes. The higher her position the more secluded she will live; there are the upper four hundred in Korea, the same as in America.
When a girl arrives at the age of 12 years, she must never be seen without the changot or sleeved apron which covers her face. They are instructed not to show their faces, so that they become very bashful and hide... themselves.
One can understand that family life is entirely destroyed by these customs and a husband very seldom speaks to his wife and associates very little with her. Even among the poor people, the men seek recreation out of doors among their male acquintances and I have never seen so many "flaneurs" on the streets as in Secjul, where the men promenade about in groups, smoking their long pipes and gossiping.
24 JIIY' VOYAGE TO KOREA Amongst the nobility when a girl has arrived at the age of puberty, even her nearest relatives are not allowed to see her or to speak to her and when they are married they are simply unapproachable.
