Dora Kim Moon

Dora Kim Moon (1877–1971) was a Korean-American community organizer. After emigrating from Korea to the Territory of Hawaii, she formed a prayer group which later became the First Korean United Methodist Church. Also in Hawaii, she founded the Korean Women's Club, the Korean Missionary Society, and helped establish the Korean Women's Relief Society.[1][2] She was considered to be a "pivotal organizer of a modern Korean women's movement in the Territory of Hawai‘i".[3]
