Korean Woman (Korean: 조선녀성; MR: Chosŏn Yŏsŏng) is a monthly magazine in North Korea, founded in September 1946.[1] The magazine is the first one to be specifically dedicated to women. It is the official media outlet of the Socialist Women's Union of Korea.[2]
The magazine started appearing regularly in 1947 and was published monthly until 1982 when it became bimonthly.[3][4] The Socialist Women's Union also publishes an English-language equivalent called Women of Korea.[5]
The magazine mainly promotes the achievements and the working and living conditions of Korean women, usually accompanied by large-scale color photos. In 1976, the newspaper published an anti-South Korea propaganda poster titled "Two opposite realities".[6]
