This paper focuses on ‘Women Empowerment’ implicit in the works of Margaret Atwood and Junghee, Moon. In her essay, Atwood calls herself ‘Margaret the Medusa’ and Moon, in her poems, ‘Gok-bi.’ However, though awkward and bizarre, these terms show both poets’s strong self-assertion. Women Empowerment is emphasized in love poems by Margaret Atwood and Junghee, Moon as well. The poems are mainly about the relation between two sexes for love and marriage. Through the relation, they want to reveal the women power that counts. In the patriarchal society, women with no education, no job, no career, are seen as inferior to men, being restricted within the domestic sphere. That’s why women, the powerless, have been regarded simply as ‘the weaker sex.’However, female speakers in the poems by Atwood and Moon show women’s potential in love and marriage life. For example, one female lover herself decides the immortal love. Another female speaker outspeaks the need to have vacation for her own self, abandoning the self sacrifice for trivial chores. As literary celebrities, Atwood and Moon are the prominent examples of women’s empowerment, having a voice to express their inner feelings in poems and trying to enhance women’s power in love and every aspects of life as well.

Women Empowerment is emphasized in love poems by Margaret Atwood and Junghee, Moon as well. The poems are mainly about the relation between two sexes for love and marriage. Through the relation, they want to reveal the women power that counts. In the patriarchal society, women with no education, no job, no career, are seen as inferior to men, being restricted within the domestic sphere.
