South Korea is a country where gender inequality has been observed from the past to the present. Many studies point out that gender inequality in Korean society is a consequence of Confucianism which still exists in the social norms, structure and hierarchy of society and the mentality of contemporary Korean people. It causes that gender inequality remains strong not only in the job market but also in the gender division of homework and care work issues, particularly in the sphere of family life. The main object of this paper is to investigate the possibility of making marital relationships equal while women are economically active. To achieve the paper’s main goal, the statistical analysis was carried out with logistic regression on data from the Korean Longitudinal Survey on Women and Families in 2012 and 2020. The results indicated that despite the significant social and economic changes in Korean society, women’s activity in the job market did not introduce a significant change in the division of household duties among men and women, which shows women’s involvement in economic support of the family it does not make any significant changes to the aspect of equality in the relationship.

Niniejsze badanie opisanych w Sabeobpumbo (사법품보; 司法稟報) przypadków przestępstw dotyczących kobiet ma na celu analizę przykładów mówiących o kobiecej tożsamości z czasów Joseon, jak i percepcji roli kobiet w patriarchalnym społeczeństwie. Cnotliwość kobiet odgrywała olbrzymią rolę w ich życiu gdyż korelowała z ich społeczną ‘wartością’. Kobiety z racji swego niskiego statusu często były niesprawiedliwie piętnowane za udział w konfliktach domowych. Przyjmowano także, że mają się one wiernie stosować do zasad starszeństwa i podległości. Zdarzały się jednakże wyjątki. Sabeobpumbo zawiera szczególnego rodzaju świadectwa dotyczące koreańskich kobiet, w których opisane są one jako jednostki niezależne i buntujące się przeciwko konserwatywnemu społeczeństwu, działające z nadzieją na przełamanie ograniczeń sztywnych ram społecznych. W pewnych przypadkach kobiety z Joseon świadomie i z różnych przyczyn opuszczały swoich mężów, choć w znacznej mierze było to spowodowane brakiem stabilności finansowej lub zaniedbywaniem przez nich męskich obowiązków. Zaskakująco niektóre z nich dołożyły jednocześnie wszelkich starań, by nie tylko zachować, ale i by zadbać o honor męża i jego rodziny. Co ciekawe, kobiety te nie tylko zostały uniewinnione z zarzucanych im czynów, ale nawet spotkały się z cichą aprobatą opinii publicznej. Te przykłady prezentują zaskakującą perspektywę, która bezpośrednio kłóci się z przyjętymi w czasach dynastii Joseon normami i daje podstawę do dalszych badań nad złożonością koreańskiej tożsamości kobiecej.

This research analyzes female-related cases in Sabeobpumbo (사법품보, 司法稟報) to examine Joseon women’s identity and perceptions of their role in the patriarchal society. Since women’s chastity was directly related to their social value, it was sometimes traded for their lives. Women were often unfairly reprehended when involved in domestic conflicts because of their lower status and they have been understood as individuals who faithfully followed the agnatic principle. However, there were exceptions, and Sabeobpumbo contained extraordinary accounts of various Joseon women in which they were described as independent and displayed active defiance in response to their highly conservative society while hoping to break free from the rigid social structure. In some cases, Joseon women decisively left their husbands for various reasons, mostly involving financial instability or neglecting duties. Furthermore, some women went to incredible lengths to preserve their husband’s and his family’s dignity. Interestingly enough, these women were not only absolved from their actions but even met with silent approval from the public. These examples provide an intriguing perspective that directly clashes with the accepted norms during the Joseon Dynasty and calls for further research on the complexities of female identity as a Joseon woman.
