Pak Chong-ae (Korean: 박정애;[1] born Ch'oe Vera[4] 1907 – ?[a]), also known as Pak Den-ai,[5] was a North Korean politician.
Pak represented the Workers' Party of North Korea (WPNK) and after 1949 the unified Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).[6] 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.[7][8]
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. 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.
Pak was awarded with the International Stalin Prize in 1950.
