The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the research situation on modern Chinese women’s literature, and in this process, I focus on the characteristics of each period or stage of research in the current state of research, specific research topics, and the main views of individual researchers. The concept of women’s literature used in this article is limited to women, but it is included in women’s literature even if it has content other than women’s lives. In addition, the research subjects examined in this article are limited to literary texts written in letters (novels, poems, prose, plays, etc.). The study of modern Chinese women’s literature in Korea is closely related to the flow of changes in women’s discourse and women’s movements in Korean society. In particular, the perspective of women’s literature studies reflects this, and while women’s literature research up to 2000 has generally focused on the phenomenon of female repression under phallocentrism from a feminist perspective, research since 2000 has expanded to women’s daily lives, women’s sexual consciousness, feminine writing, women’s bodies, and sexuality from a feminist perspective. Recent studies of women’s literature have brought sociocultural contexts into the field of study, while actively utilizing the research methods of cultural studies.
