This paper is a case study of a class that utilized “Sister Youngcho ” in women's studies liberal arts education at Sookmyung Women's University. Seo Myeong-sook's “Sister Youngcho ” which depicts the struggles of women fighting for democracy during the military dictatorship of the 1970s, was examined to explore its influence on the democratic consciousness and social participation attitudes of female university students in their 20s. Particular attention was given to the educational process of students who experienced the 2024-25 martial law and impeachment as historical events, with the aim of identifying humanistic implications. The scope and method of this study involved analyzing the content of students' reading discussions, writing assignments, and reflective journals submitted at the end of the semester in the “Women and History” module of the <Reading Women through Gender> course in the first semester of 2025. The study focused on women's narratives and democracy to examine the growth and changes in students' consciousness. The educational approach of having students share their thoughts and experiences based on “Sister Youngcho ” demonstrated that narrative texts form a sense of social justice and serve as the basis for ethical and political judgments, as mentioned by Martha Nussbaum in Poetic Justice . The educational implications of the teaching and learning process applied in the women's studies course were presented, highlighting how it stimulated and guided the restoration of records and memories related to women's agency, the expansion of public sensitivity and solidarity, and practical actions toward gender equality and democracy.
