ABSTRACT

Modern education has a great effect on cognition of new women’s poetry. Women education theory was introduced as a kind of a save-the-nation movement after 1886. As a result, women’s poetry was improved rapidly as educated women increased. Women’s magazines published in this period-- ≪Domestic Magazine家庭雜誌≫(1906.6), ≪New Family新家庭≫(1921.7), ≪Lady婦人≫(1922.6), ≪New Women新女性≫(1923.10) were a great help for the formation of cognition of new women’s poetry. These magazines contribute to extension of women’s rights and improvement of women’s household affairs including women’s love and marriage, food, sanitation, literature and arts. In 1920s, educated new women’s poet realized world cognition, though the independence movement was hidden according to Japan’s subtle cultural policy. Kim Muyng Sun is a woman poet and novelist of Korean in 1920s. She goes ahead of literary circle at that times. The main subject of her’s poetry are ego cognition, men and women’s equality, and nation liberation. Kim Muyng Sun’s poetry recognized korean women’s value in 1920s.
