О положении корейских женщин в период японского колониального управления (1905 – 1945 гг.)

Abstract

The article examines the transformation of the position of women in the context of the colonization of Korea. The forced "discovery" of Korea in the second half of the 19th century made it vulnerable to developed states: in the course of the struggle for a new sphere of influence, Japan established a protectorate over Korea. Contrary to the expectations of some reformers, Japan did not become a pillar in the modernization of the Korean state, perceiving Korea only as a colony. The involvment of female low-paid labor and the sexual exploitation of Korean women became evidence of the exploitative nature of Japanese colonial policy.
