1950년대 여성잡지 『여원』의 가족법 담론과 젠더적 법의식

The 1950s was an era of antagonism for the establishment of a new state and the liquidation and creation of legislation related to national reconstruction, and it was a transitional period for the establishment of a national ideology based on the rule of law. Yeo-won, who led women’s culture and culture, created the concept of law as an institution for the protection of her rights, gathered public opinion on the enactment civil law, and discussed the issue of gender inequality in the paternal-centered legal provisions for the inheritance of relatives. Yeo-won led the formation of legal consciousness by representing the position of the women’s community and sharing discussions on the enactment of civil law with readers from the beginning of its foundation, and led to the growth of women as legal subjects. Through this legal discourse, female readers were able to form an identity as a post-war citizen and participate as a member of the actual national reconstruction period. In particular, the magazine discussed legal issues about marriage, divorce, property inheritance, and the Australian system that women experience in their daily lives while expanding communication with readers through the legal consultation section “Legal Affairs”. Discussions on the revision of the family law were able to gain sympathy as the legal system of women’s alienation and discrimination, and gender inequality within the paternal-centered family system was exposed and exhibited through “Legal Affairs”. The act of anonymously disclosing intimate contents and personal information of women’s lives was the beginning of women’s social remarks, and it became an opportunity to form an emotional community by publicizing women’s issues. In the 1950s, “Yeowon” discussed gender legal discourse as part of the national reconstruction process, establishing a democratic national identity based on women’s legal subject and the rule of law.
