Annotation: The article analyzes the views of the early ХХth century Korean writer Lee Hee Jo on gender equality, feminism, feminist views, women's rights and women's attitude towards these rights. Loyalty and devotion have long been defined as national-mental concepts characteristic of Korean women. His stories originate from traditional Korean literature, such as his novels about the problem of man's place in the world and the meaning of social activity. In the work of Lee Hee Jo there are heroes whose real life is like a dream, but as a result they are already awakened by other, internally transformed people. A critical look at the values of modern society, where wealth is recognized as the main measure, encourages a person to reconsider his life path and take the first step towards achieving inner harmony.
