Abstract

For 36 years under Japanese rule, the most important thing in the independence movement was survival itself. Independence activists who fled abroad were in refugee status and were extremely poor. The wife of an independence activist did economic activities on behalf of her husband and also led a family as a housewife. BR This paper describes the activities of the wives of independence activists, Hu Eun(許銀, 1909∼1997) and Han Do-sin(韓道信, 1895 ∼1986), through the memoir of women independence activists.
