First, Yeowon brought up the new women writers through 'the prize of literature for the new figure', and accommodated the second wave women writers as examiners, so that contributed to the formation of women's literary circle. In the aspect of non-literary field, women writers were included as the main writers in the round table meeting, lecture, column, and consulting department for the satisfaction of reader's need. Second, Yeowon revealed the 'desire for the origin' as calling over the women writers of initial stage of modern, colonial period who had been excluded in the women's literary history. That is, it was concerned about the genealogy of women's literature. Third, Yeowon attributed to the popularization of novel by publishing full-length novel serially. Fourth, women's literary circle in the post Korean war period organized <Association of Korean Women Writers> and published <Literary Complete Collection of Women Writers>, so that strengthened their unity and institutionalized women's literature. Furthermore, the 'Prize of Women's Literature in Korea' solidified the ground of women's literature, and intended to create their own canon.

The ground of women's literature had the different, definite sphere with the ground of men's literature through the women's magazine. The women's magazine like Yeowon mobilized women writers and their works positively, and projected the institutionalization of women's literary sphere. So their mutual assistance is the new accomplishment of women's literature in the post Korean war period.
