In this paper I intended to study the women-writers' works in classic literature of Korea. I divicled the classic period into ancient age, three Kingdom Dy-nasty, Koryo Dynasty and Yi Dynasty respectively.
Mrs. Heo Nan-seol-heon(1562-1589) was an eminent figure among many women
writers, though see died young at the age of 27. She was of noble birth in Yi Dynasty
was not able to learn much as her brothers because of the predominance of man over
woman.
She learned literature for herself from the literary atmosphere of her brothers so that
she could manage to understand the Chinese literature only at the age of seven and at
last produced the poem such as Kwang-hanjeon-baekhong-lu sang-ryang-mun(廣寒殿白
王樓上樑文)
Her works, including Chinese poem, Kyu-wan-ga(閨怨歌), Bong-seon-hwa-ga(鳳仙花
歌) were introduced to China at that time and were highly admired by the famous
Chinese writers.
