This paper explores the case of a Korean evangelical businesswoman who operates a global franchise, investigating the complexities of economic class and the shifting freedoms of evangelical women in the historical context following the 2008 Global Recession. In contemporary society, evangelical womanhood is no longer confined to domestic spheres. The expansion of women’s education and the economic downturn have increased female workforce participation, resulting in women shouldering dual responsibilities at home and in the workplace — a reality that extends to evangelical women as well. By analyzing this case study, this paper aims to contribute to the discussion on the interconnectedness of class, gender, and liberation.
