다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and evaluate the problems of women through a survey of newspaper editorials during the period of 1960 through 1980.
The thesis is presented in six parts. The first part is an introduction which explains the purpose of the study. The second part is devoted to a general discussion of the theory of press and newspaper editorials. The third part presents the functions and roles of newspaper editorials. In the fourth part, the thesis mainly deals with women as presented in the Korean newspaper editorials of the Dong-a Ilbo and the Chosun Ilbo. The fifth part is an attempt to analyze and evaluate women's problems as reflected in the editorials. Finally, the sixth part presents the conclusion.
The major findings of this study are as follows: First, the problems of women were discussed more frequently in the 1970's than in the 1960s. Second, in the 60s 'Dong-a Ilbo' did not discuss women's problems at all, and even in the 70s the 'Chosun Ilbo' published 41 articles while the 'Dong-a Ilbo' published only 19.
Third, among the problems concerning women, labor problems were most frequently and seriously discussed. Fourth, the second most frequently discussed subject was to stimulate the self-awareness of women as a result of their indiscreet behavior.
From the survey it was shown that, articles dealing with women's problems gradually increased in frequency throughout the 1960s. It was during this period that the Women's Liberation Movement came into being in Korea with the introduction of western influence. Moreover, Korea's rapid industrial development during the 1960's and 1970s increased the demand for human resources; this gave more opportunities for women to actively participate in society.
In conclusion, newspaper editorials, are reflections of this period of industrial growth and western influence. Therefore, the problems of women should not be treated or limited to the subjects of the problem such as class or sex, but should be considered and analyzed as a social problem.
