Summary:

"In April 1932, the popular magazine Samch'ŏlli reported on a roundtable discussion featuring three prominent women intellectuals who had studied overseas: Ch'oe Yŏngsuk (B.A. from Stockholm University), Pak Indŏk (B.A. from Wesleyan College and M.A. from Columbia University), and Hwang Aesidŏk (M.A. from Columbia University).1 These women were asked to share their observations on a variety of topics, such as child care facilities, opportunities for employment, birth control, marriage and divorce. The panelists frequently offered illustrative examples from Sweden and the United States, since they had studied in those countries, but they also referred to Russia, India, Britain, and France, places where they had traveled briefly"-- Provided by publisher.
