*Biography* :
Na Hye-Seok (April 18, 1896 – December 10, 1948) was a Korean painter and writer. She had a pioneering role as the first Korean to do Western-style oil paintings. She is also one of the first representatives of feminism in her country. her pen name was Jeongwol (정월, bright moon), and her courtesy name was Myeongsun (명순). (Fr)

How she became 1st Feminist in S.Korea at the 20th century

When I play with a doll / with joy / as a doll of my father’s daughter / as a doll of my husband’s wife / I please them / and become a comfort to them // Let Nora go / finally, purely / Open the door / tightly closed / firmly shut / in the wall / let Nora go // From "Nora"

As a young woman, Na was known for her high spirits and outspokenness, making it clear she wanted to be a painter and an intellectual, rejecting the traditional "good wife, good mother" archetype.[7] Her major written work, Kyonghui (Korean: 경희), published in 1918, concerns a woman's self-discovery and her subsequent search for meaning in life as a "new woman;" it is the first feminist short story in Korean literature.[5][8]

In 1919, she participated in the March 1st Movement against Japanese rule. She was jailed for this, and the lawyer hired by her family to represent her soon became her husband.[11]

In 1920, Na Hye-sok, along with Kim Iryeop and ten men, established the literary magazine P-yeho.[12] Early in the 1920s, both Kim and Na contributed a series of articles to the first magazine for Korean women, called Sinyoja, or "New Woman", on the subject of improving Korean women's clothing. They argued for a more functional and practical outfit for Korean women to help improve their hygiene, health, and self-image, and denounced traditional Korean dresses which were designed with no consideration for women's physical comfort, protection, and convenience.[9]

Personal Life and Career
On April 10, 1920, she was married to Kim Woo-young, in Jeongdong wedding hall, Seoul. Theirs was a love marriage, rare at the time in Korea. On 18 March 1921, Na had her first exhibition of paintings and the first exhibition by a Korean woman painter ever in Seoul.[13] In 1923, Na attracted much attention for her essay "Thoughts on becoming a mother," in which she lashed out against her husband for leaving child-rearing entirely up to her.[10]
Na studied painting in France while Kim had become a Japanese diplomat.[10] While in Paris, with her husband away, she is said to have engaged in an affair with Cheondo-gyo leader Choi Rin, which became fodder for gossip columnists. Na Hye-sok's husband divorced her on grounds of infidelity in 1931.

Na Hye-Seok has also published novels and poems containing a new sense of the times. Her novel, 「Kyung-hee(Hangul: 경희)」, which she wrote in 1918, is regarded as a work that shows her distinct femininity. Her novel work was a confession novel. It was also the trend of the novels of the 1920s-1930s. The novels of confession by writers such as Yeom Sang-Seop, Kim Dong-In, Na Hye-Seok, Kim Iryeop, and Kim Myeong-sun challenged the sexual taboo based on the traditional patriarchal family system.[19]

٢الحبكة

قطعة عندما انفصلت So-Nyo البالغة من العمر تسعة وستين عامًا عن زوجها وسط حشود محطة مترو الأنفاق في سيول ، تبدأ عائلتها في بحث يائس للعثور عليها. ومع ذلك ، بينما تبدأ الأسرار القديمة والأحزان الخاصة في الكشف عن نفسها ، يضطرون إلى التساؤل: إلى أي مدى عرفوا حقًا المرأة التي أطلقوا عليها اسم أمي؟ تستكشف الرواية الخسارة ، واتهامات الذات ، وفي بعض الحالات ، اكتشاف الذات بسبب اختفاء الأم. تتناول الرواية أيضًا الموضوعات المتعلقة بالتضحية بالنفس للأمهات بشكل عام (وفي كوريا بشكل خاص) ، والعلاقة بين ذكريات الماضي وحقائق الحاضر ، والجوانب الحرباء للهوية.
