Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the activities of women independence activists and the meaning of their lives in the memoirs of women who participated in the independence movement. In the memoir, the life of a women independence activist can be divided into three types. First, they personally participated in the independent struggle. They participated in the patriotic struggle and raised funds or gathered soldiers for the independence war. Through propaganda Activities, they promoted anti-Japanese sentiment and encouraged participation in the independence movement as well. Second, the social base of the independence movement was established. They strived to take care of families of those who participated in the independence movement and to maintain the Korean community in economic and educational aspects. It was the role of women''s independence activists to cultivate national consciousness and to maintain the sustainability of the independence movement by organizing education and social events of Korean community. Also it was their responsibility to support the key figures in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and to take care of the independence activists and their families. Third, they show the social role and gender recognition of male and female. It was the role of women to keep the household economy or to support the family. This shows that male-dominated patriarchal attitudes persisted in families and societies in which they lived during the independence movement. After identifying various aspects of the women''s independence movement in the memoir, this study developed the teaching program for students to understand the women''s independence movement. The results of applying history class plan are as follows. First, students were able to find various aspects of the women''s independence movement through memoirs. Second, through the activities of imagining the reason for selecting the behaviors and thoughts of historical figures in the memoirs, pluralistic views could be developed. Third, in the process of constituting the meaning of independence movement, its value could be internalized.
