## Bio

Kim Jong-suk was born on 24 December 1917 and became an anti-Japanese guerrilla fighter and Communist activist during Korea's colonial period. She married Kim Il Sung, who would become North Korea's founding leader, and bore him a son, Kim Jong Il, in what would become a dynastic succession. She died on 22 September 1949, just after the state's creation, at age thirty-one. Her grandson Kim Jong Un now leads the country, making her the matriarch of three generations of North Korean rule.
