Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an analysis of the role played and burden borne by rural women during South Korean economic development since 1960. It offers a critical understanding of the crucial role played by rural women in the Korean economic "miracle". Presenting her "triple exploitation" model, the author explains the linkages between rural women, national development, and the global economy. She concludes that, via triple exploitation, rural women have held more than their "fair share" of the strain of rapid industrialization.
