Park Ji-won s Yeonam(燕巖) novel and Wujingzi s The Scholars (儒林外史) are among the best satirical novels in both Chosun and Qing Dynasty. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the writer s views on women and a sense of criticism as an intellectual consciousness through the process of figuring the woman in the novel. He portrayed women who were the weak during the turbulent transition period in a certain way, and identified the progressive views of the two writers reflected on the inside of them, highlighting their sense of criticism and limitations as feudal writers. Both authors show a new aspect of breaking away from the traditional feudal gender perspective. Of course, as a feudal writer, there are some periodical limitations. but we can see that the image of women is gradually changing, highlighting the view of modern women.
