Timeline

1907

Pak Chong-ae (박정애; born Ch'oe Vera 1907 – ?), also known as Pak Den-ai, was a North Korean politician.

Pak was born in 1907 in North Hamgyong Province in the north of the Korean Peninsula.

She went to the Soviet Union to study in the Moscow State University.

She then worked for the Soviet Union as an intelligence agent before entering politics.

1930

In the early 1930s, she was dispatched to Korea for duty, where the Japanese authorities imprisoned her.

1940

Her career in North Korean politics stretched from the 1940s until her purge in 1966 which resulted in her expulsion to countryside.

From there on she was allowed to hold minor positions only.

During the 1940s, Pak was married to Kim Yong-bom, chairman of the North Korean Branch Bureau of the Korean Communist Party.

At the time of the liberation of Korea, Pak was already considered an experienced domestic communist.

She supported Kim Il Sung in the early days of North Korean political life and became one of his strongest supporters.

During her tenure, lasting from the 1940s to 1965, the league was a typical women's mass organization not unlike those in other countries.

It was only under subsequent chairpersons that it acquired more totalitarian features.

Pak also played a leading role in the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF).

1946

In August 1946, she became a full member of the 1st Central Committee of the Workers' Party of North Korea (WPNK).

1948

She was a member of its executive committee in 1948.

1949

Pak represented the Workers' Party of North Korea (WPNK) and after 1949 the unified Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

She was already an experienced communist at the time of the liberation of Korea, and she had also studied in the Soviet Union and worked for its intelligence service.

She is grouped variously among either the Soviet or the Domestic faction of the party.

Pak was the first chairperson of the North Korean Central Committee of the Korean Democratic Women's League, the country's mass organization for women.

During her chairwomanship the League had not yet developed into an organization through which the government tightly controls its citizens.

Pak is the only woman to have served in the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea until the appointment of Kim Yo-jong.

She has been characterized as being the only woman ever to have been truly important in the WPK.

When the Workers' Parties of North and South Korea merged to form the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) in 1949, Pak was chosen as one of its three secretaries.

She served in its 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Central Committees.

She was also a deputy to the Supreme People's Assembly.

It is possible that Pak informed the Chinese about North Korea's plans to attack South Korea just prior to the outbreak of the Korean War.

1950

Pak was awarded with the International Stalin Prize in 1950.

She received the International Stalin Prize in 1950 and also starred in Joris Ivens and Jerzy Bossak's anti-war documentary film Peace Will Win.

She has also revived the North Korean Order of the National Flag, both first and second class.

Robert A. Scalapino and Lee Chong-Sik call her "the only woman ever to have been truly important in the [WPK]".

She lasted in mid-century North Korean political life when purges removed many other senior politicians.

Andrei Lankov describes her as "one of the most remarkable personalities of that remarkable era".

1951

In 1951, a WIDF International Commission of Women visited North Korea on her initiative to mobilize the world public opinion.

1953

In 1953, she headed the North Korean delegation to Stalin's funeral in Moscow, where her Chinese counterpart was the Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai.

Later that year, she participated in a purge against the former South Korean Workers' Party members who had fallen out of Kim Il Sung's favor.

Pak became one of five members, and the only woman, in a Political Committee that solidified Kim's rule.

Pak was highly influential within the committee and was one of Kim's closest confidantes.

She was present when he signed the Armistice document and also accompanied him on trips abroad.

As one of the most important members of the committee she was uniquely "able to advise Kim Il-sŏng on his personal life, and to speak for women as well as on matters of general concern".

She was the first chairperson of the North Korean Central Committee of the Korean Democratic Women's League.
