韓·美 女性의 社會的 處遇에 關한 比較 硏究 : 李朝時代와 植民地時代의 比較 = Comparative Study on the Women's Social Situation in the Days of Yi-Dynasty and American Colonies

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this comparative study of woman's situation between Yi-Dynasty and colonial days of America, I can find out some similarities as well as other differences inspite of different two countries, east and west.
Under the authorized paternity, woman in both countries was not estimated a human-being but a mechanic which produced a boy as a inheritor of the compound family system in Yi-Dynasty, or a labor force as a worker in the field of Free-Land in American Colonies. Because woman was in the situation of Civily-Dead, she had no right to live for herself, but been subordinated to man like a salve.
Thehe were two views of woman's moral which enfored woman to be subordinated and restricted within the home and social life. One was Chu-Za Confucianism in Yi-Dynasty and the other Protestantism in American Colonies.
In such similarities, I can find that there were also some different kind of images of subordination of woman in both countries.
In the former, woman was completely belonged to compound family system including ancesters, so she was not permited to be married again even though after becoming a widow, she had to stay in the husband's house to serve parents-in-law and to hold the memorial service of the family ancestors. The other hand, she was protected and treated hospitality at home as house-mother, not owing to her own dignity but to the ancestor's authority.
In the latter, even though the moral of Protestantism taught woman to be obedient, to man and to be diligence, and abstinence, in order to build the new home and society in the New-Land, a widow was estimated to be better wife than virgin as a labore force.
In conclusion, there was no place for Korean woman to stand up as an individuality, in the society tightly restricted within the tradition of Chu-Za Confucianism. But in the latter, as the time passed, woman acknowledged herself individuality, and resisted against the authorities of religion and paternity and at last she fought for woman suffrage.
I think that those different images of woman's subordination in both countries, came from their different social condition and historical traditions which originated from the moral of Chu-Za Confucianism and Protestantism.
