AB - is a material that shows the deep “relationships among women,” which was uncommon in the men-centered Joseon society. This thesis examines the characteristics of the relationship between mothers and daughters, sisters, and mothers-in-laws and daughters-in-laws, as shown in .
The author’s mother was described as an “ideal person” in every aspect, including her appearance, character, and intellectual ability. The author’s mother was not only a “lifetime model” to the author, but also had a significant influence on her view of life. Within a few months of losing her mother, when she was only ten years old, the author had to accept a stepmother. The shock and sorrow had a decisive effect on the author, causing her to view of life negatively.
Meanwhile, there was a strong “sense of solidarity” in her relationships with her elder sister and mother-in-law, as they shared “lifetime experiences.” The author and her elder sister shared a sense of exclusive solidarity from sharing grief and condolences after losing their mother. Later, the elder sister helped to care for her brother-in-law, which provided them with the opportunity to build a stronger sisterhood. In the author’s relationship with her mother-in-law, they felt a little bit of distance from each ther during the early days of the marriage. However, they gradually formed a sense of solidarity by jointly and implicitly responding to their irrational parents-in-law. After the death of her son and husband, the author actively stopped her mother-in-law’s suicide attempt and built a new relationship by sharing the position of women in the men-centered society.
In the men-centered and patriarchal Joseon society, emphasizes the importance of “women’s position and experiences,” maternal care, and sisterhood relationships. Moreover, it shows that a woman, through writing, could record and transmit memories about other women. This was something beyond the imagination and planning of patriarchy regarding relationships among women. value as women’s literature may lie in this.
