Bang hallim jeon 방한림전

About

Bang Hanrim jeon (方翰林傳 The Tale of the Woman Scholar Bang Gwanju) is a work of female hero fiction that focuses on the life of a woman, Bang Gwanju, who disguises herself as a man and is active in the public sphere. The female protagonist, Bang Gwanju, fights in a war and takes the civil service examination, even becoming betrothed to another woman while retaining her family surname, and thus displays many of the defining characteristics of the female hero fiction as a literary genre. This work has been reviewed as the most controversial of all works of female hero fiction. This is because the female protagonist and the woman she marries act in accordance with a perpetual self-awareness that they live in a patriarchal society where women are oppressed.
