Description

About the book

This piece represents the typical situation of Third World women under the ‘feminization of poverty’. These women are the ones responsible for supporting their families in the absence of a male head of household. Released in 1936, this work reflects the weakening of the anti-Japanese armed struggle in Gando, the dissolution of the progressive literary group KAPF in Korea, and the overall strengthening of Japanese colonial rule.
