Kim Ilyeop (1896-1971) is a South Korean writer and a Buddhist nun. In 1920, she founded the first women’s magazine Sinyeoja and began her literary career in the same year with the publication of the short stories “Gyesi” (계시(啓示) Revelation) and “Eoneu sonyeoui sa” (어느 소녀의 사(死) The Death of a Girl). She is highly regarded as a writer who opened the way for women to step into the literary world in the early modern times when it was difficult for women to carry out literary activities.l  Short story “Gyesi” (계시(啓示) Revelation) (1920)l  Short story “Aeyogeul pihayeo” (애욕을 피하여 In Avoidance of Passion) (1932)

김일엽(1896~1971)은 한국의 작가이자 승려이다. 1920년에 한국 최초의 여성 잡지  《신여자》를 창간하였으며 같은 해 단편소설 <계시(啓示)>와 <어느 소녀의 사(死)>를 발표하며 문단 활동을 시작하였다. 근대 초기, 여성으로서 문단 활동이 자유롭지 않았음에도 불구하고 여성이 문단 진출을 할 수 있는 길을 열어놓은 문인이라는 점에서 높이 평가된다.
