Abstract "Diaspora" is an important concept in globalization studies that has three dimensions: firstly, the dispersed communities represented by the Jews and Armenians; secondly, sociological and anthropological studies of such exilic groups; and thirdly, cultural studies that stress hybrid identities, cultural translation and transcendental logic. The concept Diaspora can widen the field, sources and methodology of women studies. The Nobel Prize winner, Pearl S. Buck's biography of her missionary mother, The Exile, classically illustrates the history of a woman in the western missionary diaspora in China, her negotiation between the cultures of both her homeland and her host country, her dilemma between her calling and androcentrism prevelant in her diaspora. Textual analysis of The Exile from a perspective of diaspora contributes to an emerging field of transnational women's studies.
