ABSTRACT

This article focuses on the science fiction "Greenhouse at the End of the Earth" by Korean writer Kim Cho-ye and "the Little Mushroom" by Chinese writer Yi Shisizhou, to explore how Women's science fiction writers in Korea and China reconstruct the relationship between women and the world through science fiction narratives. After 2000, Women's science fiction literature in Korea and China entered a period of rapid development. Before the 1990s, science fiction was considered a literary genre exclusive to men in both Korea and China. After entering the 1990s, science fiction gradually attracted the attention of the public, and science fiction literature written by female writers also began to rise. In the works of these female science fiction writers, we can find many feminist consciousnesses that attempt to subvert the existing male-centered and modernist ideas. This article attempts to cross the comparison between Korea and China to explore why East Asian Women's writers want to overthrow the existing gender order through the literary genre of science fiction, and by analyzing the similarities and differences between Korean and Chinese Women's science fiction novels, explore the possibility of East Asian women using science fiction literature as a bridge for dialogue.
