In the series The History of Korean Women, Cho's suggests that the cost of that gain cannot be paid for by a cultural amnesia masking the pain and suffering of previous generations. Here the semantic emphasis is on the official - the status of women and their contribution to the survival and growth of Korea. Their efforts have gone uncelebrated due to their relegated status within a five hundred year old social system. Cho proposes, in the manner of new historicism, that the events associated with the past, and indeed with the future of Korea, are inextricably bound with the fates of these women and that official and social recognition of their important contributions must occur.
