00:00 Book Review 01:44 Start of text Na Hye-seok is well known as the first Western-style painter and writer in Korea and as an activist for modern feminism. She first studied oil painting at a private women's art school in Tokyo, Japan, at the recommendation of her older brother who had studied abroad in Japan. After returning to Korea in 1918, she was arrested for organizing women's participation in the March 1st Movement in 1919 and spent several months in prison. Na Hye-seok married diplomat Kim Woo-young. She received a marriage promise that was unthinkable at the time: "I will guarantee my artistic activities and I will not live with my husband." After that, she spent what could be called the golden age of her married life, traveling to Europe and the United States with her husband, becoming the "first Joseon woman to travel to the West" and broadening her horizons as a painter in Europe. However, he fell in love with Choi Rin, a local diplomat in Paris, and this led to Na Hye-seok's divorce upon her return to Korea. Na Hye-seok wrote groundbreaking articles that actively advocated for women's sexual self-determination based on her experiences traveling abroad and getting divorced. These were groundbreaking claims in the 1930s. Although she demonstrated her abilities as the greatest writer of her time in literature and art, the stigma of being a "divorcee" who refused to follow the ideals of women of the time completely tarnished her reputation as an artist. She suffered from social phobia and depression due to the criticism, and as she grew older, she suffered from Parkinson's disease and stroke. Nevertheless, she continued to lecture and exercise for women's enlightenment, and was even exiled to a temple. Eventually, she became weak and ended up in a nursing home. She eventually died of malnutrition on December 10, 1948, in the ward for the unclaimed at Seoul City Hall. Na Hye-seok completed over 800 works of art, and in addition to novels and columns published in newspapers and magazines, she also had a considerable amount of manuscripts she wrote at home, but most of them were lost during the Korean War. The remaining works were also still taboo for decades after her death on the grounds that they were offensive to public morals, but since the 1990s, through various attempts to fully view Na Hye-seok's true self, she has been re-evaluated as a true artist who was not bound by convention and a feminist who pioneered the path of women's rights. ※ This is a secondary work edited and processed by the Book Reading Literature Museum 70 years after the death of the copyright holder. #TheWomanWhoReadsBooks#Audiobook#NaHye-seok#Kyunghee#Yeo-on
