This study aims to investigate the feminine writing in Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Woman focusing on Hélène Cixous’ feminine writing. According to Hélène Cixous, feminine writing is a subversive method against the phallogocentric and logocentric system. In the logocentric system, women have been considered as being inferior symbolizing passivity/nature/body etc. to men considered as being of activity/ culture/mind etc. This binary concept can be deconstructed through feminine writing that takes place in the ‘between’ site of the dichotomic concepts. Women can challenge the logocentric system accepting others and destabilizing language system. Comfort Woman by Nora Okja Keller has some features of feminine writing. First, using shamanism, the multiple meanings of feminine writing are specifically personified. Akiko as a shaman is identified with other characters accepting others in her body. Second, Korean folk tales represent the ambivalence of stories, and the ability of transition and deception that are essential for women to survive. Third, the river and the song symbolize women’s nonstop resistance through the image of fluidity and movement. With these characteristics, feminine writing in Comfort Woman helps women to move one step further to the women’s solidarity.
