Jo Ok Hui was a chairwoman of the women’s union in Pyoksong County. She was arrested by the enemies while fighting in the people’s guerilla unit in Mt Jinam, but she remained faithful to her revolutionary principles and demonstrated the spirit of the DPRK women. Her unyielding fighting spirit is recorded in the DPRK history with the valuable title of the first heroine of the Republic.
Women in the rear also made self-sacrificing efforts for victory in the war.
They ran belts with their hands and pulled plows to ensure the wartime production and turned out as one to assistance to the front under a shower of bullets.
One of them was heroine Sin Pho Hyang who worked at the then Ragwon Machine Works.
Heroine Kim Rak Hui was a forerunner of the plowwoman mass movement. Following her example, many women farmers did not fallow lands but sowed seeds on them to increase the wartime food production even under the heavy bombings by the enemy planes.
Planes, tanks and warships were made by the struggle for economization and patriotic labour of the women who wished victory in the war. The planes, tanks and warships which were named “Women’s Union”, “Mother” and so on showered a fire of destruction on the aggressors.
