First-ever female vice minister named

``I feel some pressure being known as a fighter for women`s rights,`` said Kim Song-Ja, 61, upon her appointment as vice labor minister Sunday, the first woman to take a vice ministerial post. ``As well as addressing women`s issues, I`d like to contribute to efforts to solve the unemployment problem and promote a new labor-management culture.``
