[Writers in Conversation] The Bravest Woman I Know
Borrowing from poet Kim Hyesoon, the writing of all women writers could be an answer to the question, What Does It Mean for a Woman to Write? This is not because their stories pay special attention to some part of the experience that is ‘woman.’ Rather, their ‘writing’ confronts and shatters the form that is writing, or literature, long deemed inaccessible to women, and combine the elements of this form in a new way. Their language, often tied to roles like daughter, mother, or wife, is erased almost as it is written down. Therefore, women writers’ work is always an attempt to do something ‘for the first time in their life.’ Through this conversation with three women writers who have lived and written in different environments, we aim to discover how their lives as women transcend personal experience and influence their writing. What kinds of literature are they confronting, and what kinds of literature are they imagining? • Language: Korean, English
