This book is about protest politics and social movements led by a
group of women, the "Mothers," who were inadvertently drawn into
South Korea's democratization movement from the 1970s to the 2000s.
The Mothers were female family members of political dissidents of
varying backgrounds and ages-college students, political and
religious leaders, writers, and factory workers. Women who
initially had very little in common developed a bond as the days of
their families' detentions accumulated and their ordeals continued.
This led them to form a quasi-organization prayer meeting group in
the 1970s, which eventually developed into permanent Mothers'
organizations in the mid-1980s. The Mothers in this book include
both the early- and late-comers to the movement, as the membership
has undergone many changes since its inception in the 1970s. While
the individual Mothers are the primary focus, this book explores
beyond their individual concerns and activities. It discusses
various methods the individual Mothers employed to promote their
causes and attempts to study how the activities of the
organizations founded by the inexperienced Mothers have affected
the process of Korea's democratization and how they remain active
decades later.
