In celebration of the 130th anniversary of Ewha’s foundation, Ewha Womans University Museum has arranged a special exhibition to reminisce upon the 130-year history of Ewha. In 1886, Ewha started out with a single female student in 1886, taught by American missionary Mary F. Scranton, sent from the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at her house in Jeong-dong, Seoul. In those days, Ewha, the first modern educational institute for Korean women, was the hope and vision for women to begin a career and to fulfill gender equality. Overcoming the dark days of Japanese colonial rule, Ewha was officially accredited by the government as the first university in Korea in 1946, opening a new chapter in higher education for women. Enduring the nation’s suffering during the Korean War in the 1950s, Ewha developed into a university that adapted to the needs of the new era and led women trends at the time in the 1960s to 70s.

In the 1980s, Ewha strengthened its original purpose as a university under the slogan, “University as Center of Research.” The establishment of the world’s first engineering college for women led to overcoming the crisis of women’s universities at the time and strengthened its pride and role as an educational institution. In the 2000s, Ewha faced a significant opportunity to make a new leap forward. As Ewha Bridge was dismantled and Ewha Campus Complex (ECC) was built, the Ewha campus reestablished itself as a setting for education and culture, as well as a national and international attraction. Ewha is setting the pace for change that will foster women leaders from Ewha in the 21st Century. Ewha’s 130-year history has evolved along with the modern history of Korea. Ewha’s past is not only its own history, but also reveals the changes in Korea’s modern history, education, and women’s status, helping situate Ewha’s future course and identity.
