Gender formed complex interrelation with spaces, cultural tastes, physical symptoms. Longing for other places, Leaving Home and physical illnesses in Lee Seon-hee’s fictions were related with gender-specific topography. The islands and primitive spaces as places for where women ran away from home in Lee seon-hee’s fictions were temporary alternative spaces. These compositions of home and spaces critically expressed against modern culture and institutions. Those awareness of home or other spaces acquired distances enabled us to gaze at and think about gender relations. Specially those represented that home was the place to negotiate for gender relation.
