Korean literature is used as a source to investigate Korean women’s experiences and perspectives. By means of feminist critique this article explores men-centered influences in Korean literature. It aims to illustrate the importance of the issue of female visibility through Korean literature from a Korean woman’s perspective. Two texts are analyzed and critiqued: the first is the myth of Korean origin. The second is a story of Gasi Gogi (a thorny fish). The article is intended to stimulate debate on gender, voices, and authority from a feminist perspective, in order to transcend the more traditional interpretations.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaGender studiesKorean womenWomen -- KoreaFeminist theology -- KoreaWomen in Christianity -- KoreaKorean literatureExperience (Religion) in women -- KoreaArticle
