This study examines the “literary possibility of feminine thinking” and the validity of “femininity” and “feminine writing” as keywords in women’s literary discourse, wherein this has been a problem since the 1910s. The possibility of productive women’s discourse was sought from the current perspective by reviewing women’s literature from the 1970s, a period of prominence for women’s self-consciousness. Pak Wan-sŏ, O Chŏng-hŭi, and Sŏ Yŏng-ŭn, who have claimed that their perception as “women” is the basis for the creation of their work, thus meriting attention, have revealed the divisive self-consciousness and its articulation in their work. By scrutinizing their interiority, they look at the cracks in their daily lives. Thus, their ontological writing, which remains in empty spaces, touches upon the feminine abyss.
