Madame KIM JONG SUK - An exemplary revolutionary fighter -special article by Dr Dermot Hudson




Madame KIM JONG SUK , the Mother of Korea , anti-Japanese revolutionary heroine and indomitable communist revolutionary fighter was born 103 years ago on the 24th of December in Hoeryong City in the northern part of Korea . 

  In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea there are statues of her . in fact the DPRK is one of the few Asian countries to have statues of a woman leader . There are a number of institutions and places named after her such as the KIM JONG SUK Textile Mill which our delegation visited in 2019.There is also a KIM JONG SUK university and a KIM JONG SUK county .

   Madame KIM JONG SUK stands out as an example of a truly proletarian and Juche-based feminist leader.  She was born into a colonial and feudal subject in which people were subjected to terrible oppression by the Japanese imperialists , feudal landlords and capitalists . For women the situation was doubly and triply worse ,  they were subject to extreme oppression and had to suffer from backward feudal customs. Worse still the Japanese imperialists imperialists subjected 200, 000 Korean woman to sexual slavery , an unspeakable crime committed by the truly fiendish and evil Japanese imperialists . Comrade KIM JONG SUK  was made a slave to a landlord because of an unpaid debt .

 Comrade KIM JONG SUK  a brave and resourceful young woman took the road of revolution early in life . She joined the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army and became known as a distinguished crackshot .

She upheld the revolutionary ideas of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG and defended him with her life . She brought the young comrade KIM JONG IL as a great revolutionary and future leader.


 Comrade KIM JONG SUK fought hard for women’s liberation both during the anti-Japanese armed struggle and after the liberation of Korea . She did believe in the divisive idea of women fighting against men but instead believing in women fighting alongside men for a better world for both . After liberation she founded and led the Women’s Union . The DPRK pursued the road of genuine socialist women’s liberation thanks to comrade KIM JONG SUK . Today the DPRK is a model of true women’s liberation as it has free childcare  . In the DPRK you will not find the sex industry that degrades women .


Comrade KIM JONG SUK is the symbol of the new women of Juche Idea and stands out as a great example of a revolutionary fighter.
