고등학교 『한국사』교과서에 서술된 ‘한국여성독립운동’에 대한 비판적 검토

Abstract

I reviewed contents of women’s movement for Korean independence written in eight kinds of highschool textbooks on Korean history for 2009 Revised Course for Education. I have come to conclusion as follows by the analysis and organization of these contents. Firstly, only Songjukhoe (Society of Pine and Bamboo) is appeared as women’s association and Yu Gwan-sun is appeared as woman worked for Korean independence in textbooks on Korean History. However, Songjukhoe is only explained as the secret association of women. Moreover, only textbooks of Visang Education Publishing Company and Chunjae Education Publishing Company go into details of mansei (hurray) demonstration of Yu Gwan-sun and ensuing Japanese suppression of it. Secondly, the contents which more than two textbooks describe in common on the chapter about women’s national movement after 3·1 mansei Undong (1919 Demonstrations for Independence) are only about six women’s associations. Eight kinds of textbooks describe Geunuhoe (Society of the Friends of the Rose of Sharon). Seven describe Joseon Yeoja Gidokgyo Cheongnyeonhoe (Society of Young Christian Women in Joseon) and Joseon Yeoseong Donguhoe (Women’s Association of Joseon). Five describe Joseon Yeoza Gyoyukhoe (Women’s Educational Association in Joseon). Three describe Tosan Aeyong Buinhoe (Women's Organization for Consumption of Indigenous Products). Two describe Geunhwa Yeohakgyo (Geunhwa Girl’s School). However, these description don’t show anti-Japanese activities of these associations. Textbooks only describe about women’s enlightenment activities of them. Though so many women leaders worked for Korean independence and their role was important, they don’t receive necessary attention. We should have to find and research women and women’s associations working for Korean independence. Process for investigation of validity and necessity of them as educational contents is needed. I think that correct education of these contents is necessary for students.
