Abstract

This study focused on Woman’s Gasa in high school Korean textbooks and literature textbooks, investigated the aspect of inclusion and sought the matters to improve for the inclusion of Woman’s Gasa from a feminist standpoint. For this purpose, this study first investigated “Dendong-Eomi-Hwajeonga” and “Gyuwonga” of the Woman’s Gasa included in literature textbooks, centering around the appropriateness of learning activity contents, the appropriateness of the parts included, the appropriateness of the description of literary history and Gyubang Gasa and a comparison with men’s classical poetry. As a result, it was found that, as compared to men’s classical poetry, there were fewer Woman’s Gasa works, which were included fewer times and did not fully reflect the aspects of writing, enjoyment and circulation or the meanings of the works in the literary history. In this situation, this study emphasized that it would be important to establish the meaning of Woman’s Gasa in literary history in the future, and it would be necessary to make close descriptions of literary history to discover and select representative Woman’s Gasa works and to allow a stereoscopic description of women’s linguistic life.
