This book introduces important contributions in the humanities by a
select group of traditional and modern Korean women, from the 15th
through the 20th centuries. The literary and artistic works of
these women are considered Korean classics, and the featured
artists and writers range from a queen, to a courtesan, to a
Buddhist nun, to unknown women of Korea. Although women's works
were generally meant only to circulate among women, these creative
expressions have caught the attention of literary and artistic
connoisseurs. By bringing them to light, the book seeks to
demonstrate how Korean women have tried to give their lives meaning
over the ages through their very diverse, yet common artistic
responses to the details and drama of everyday life in Confucian
Korea. The stories of these women and their work give us glimpses
of their personal views on culture, aesthetics, history, society,
politics, morality, and more.
