Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the changing aspects of woman's power through the experience in Machurian exile and to inquire into its meaning targeting gasa literature such as <Wonbyeolgara><Wimosa> and <Shinsetaryong>. First of all, this research made an analysis of <Wonbyeolgara> <Wimosa> and <Shinsetaryeong> in the chronicle order of their creation. This research analyzed the work "Wimosa" from the aspect of an equalitarian's desire and power for social participation; "Wonbyeolgara" from the aspect of a traditional woman's change of identity and power, and "Shinsetaryeong"from the aspect of womanly power of a leader of independence movement respectively by putting focus on the changing aspect of each author's self identity and power due to Manchurian exile. This research comprehensively inquired into the meaning of a woman's changing aspects on the basis of the above analysis. These three women happened to get an opportunity for social participation by virtue of their Manchurian exile. The author Lee, Ho-seong and a woman of Pyonghae-Hwang family who were in their early 20s at the time of the exile, were different from each other in their attitude toward a woman's decision to live in exile. However, the common point in these two women was that they changed their identity as a woman leader through the experience in Manchurian exile. Accordingly, there formed a 'force' to lead their life initiatively in the inner side of these two authors. Nevertheless, this force was not given from the outside but autogenously formed inside. Afterwards, these two women authors weren't endowed with the social strength they longed for from the outside after all. Unlike the two authors, Yoon, hee-sun was endowed with the social strength as a leader in the circumstances where 10 years had passed since her exile. Thus, Yoon, hee-sun displayed strong power tiding over a crisis while being simultaneously equipped with the identity of a leader and womanly identity of paying attention to the body and food.
