1930년 서울지역학생 연합시위와 근화여학교

Abstract

The Gwangju student movement was a national movement which has been risen all around the country. The large scale of joint demonstration of students in Seoul that spread out in response to Gwangju student incident contains an important meaning that it has become a turning point spreading from the regional movement of Gwangju to the nationwide movement. In 1929, the reading clubs under the vanguard unions which were organized in each school were the ones that lead the students demonstration in Seoul. Geunhwa Women's School was triggered by the manifesto of vanguard union and has initiatively participated in the first demonstration among girls' schools. From the second demonstration in Seoul, students have led the whole process from the beginning. Especially, the distinction of this time is that the female students played a key role in it and developed into a large-scale union demonstration by uniting with male students in 1930. With indignation triggered by the sacrifice of Gwangju and a strong solidarity that the victims of Gwangju are also the same students, the students of Geunhwa Women's School aggressively participated in the two demonstrations in 1929 and 1930. In other words, the students of Geunhwa Women's School were also the main activists of Gwangju student movement.
