Abstract:It was a main mainstream idea in the period of the Joseon Dynasty that a woman's place was in the house doing household chores like cooking and needlework while reading and literary creation was inappropriate for them. However, in consideration of family tradition and children's education, the scholar officials class thought women also needed to study Xiaoxue, Neixun, Nujie and so forth, which opened up a gateway for women to read and write. In Anh-dong Kim family, men not only showed great tolerance toward women's interest in reading and writing, but also encouraged them to do so, hence there appeared quite a few brilliant women in the family known as "women of noble characters" or "great female scholars" . Besides, with Kim Seongdal's support, female literature thrived in the family, from which Kim Hoyeonjae was one of the greatest female literators. As the old saying goes, "from the claw we may infer the lion" . The prosperity of female literature in Anh-dong Kim Family offers us a glimpse of the relationship between female education and female literature in the period of the Joseon Dynasty from the late 16th century to the middle of 18th century.
