AB - This study examines the severity of sexual harassment and violence against modern women via focusing on the works of Kim myeong-soon, Na hye-seok, and Kim il-yeop, the first feminism novelists. Most of the assailants are parents and husbands in those works, which shows that the violences mainly occurred in the family system. Husbands’ violences in the works are shown as keeping concubines and committing adultery. Aside from that, women are also obligated to marry early and suffer from patrilogical marriage, which shows the violence from father or parents-in-law. Also, when a woman becomes a widow, she is demanded to maintain faithfulness though she married for her family. Women are thought to be the ones who make sacrifices for the family, nothing else. In the authors’ works, some of main characters are the victims of sexual assaults. This is because there were a lot of victims at that time including Kim il-yeop and Kim myeong-soon. Sexual assault is clearly a violence which infringes upon women’s sexual self-determination. It sometimes took away victim’s lives due to the guilt that they had failed to maintain chastity, which shows the double standard that the patriarchal society built on each gender. This ideology categorized women into two groups, 'faithful women' and 'unfaithful women', and blamed on the latter, although the victims of sexual assaults were included in the group. The authors comprehended the violences as the issue of social structure rather than individual one and strived to eradicate violences against women in modern times. In this respect, they show willingness to achieve gender equality through their works. As the feminists say, ‘The personal is political,’ the individual and the structure cannot be separated. Therefore, it is important to look the violence issue from gender point of view.
