Abstract

It is a civilization and enlightenment that is considered the most important thing in the Korean newspapers of 1900's. The educational system is raised an issue of practical method about civilization and enlightenment. There were many articles that the Korean should study the western culture and educational system to civilize and to prosper. The woman was not regarded as an important educational subject until that times. The woman become a topic in the newspapers as schoolgirs, the pupils' parents and members of women's associations. But there were no articles that were emphasized woman's concrete method to civilize and to reflect on their conduct to do. It was due to that they were brought over as a 'subordinative subject’ in the process of modernizing project. In the Koeran newpapers at that times, it was supported that the west was the model of modern civilization, so many Korean students should go abroad to study their science and knowledge. But there were very unusual points of view that the woman should go abroad or go the west to study something. In 1900's, Lee In-Jik(李人稙) wrote novels like Tears of Blood(HyelUiNoo), Silver World(EunSeGye), MoRanBong which were discribed the living and studying in the west of korean woman. But their life narrated very superficially, and their working in Korea after home-coming were discribed very vaguely. The narratives ended unfinished. Those narratives show that the writer intended to tell Korea has many problems to civilize, and they were very internal matters. It is the narrative politics that were written in the novels by Lee In-Jil in 1900's.
