Property and subjectivity: Women's property rights in Joseon Korea (1392--1910)
This study intends to prove the subjectivity of Korean women found in their historical identity, by illuminating the fact that women had explicit property rights and were not discriminated by gender ideology during the majority of the Joseon period. For the purpose, the study examines the legal provisions of "equal inheritance among sons and daughters," clearly stipulated in the State Code (Gyeongguk Daejeon), and provides numerous findings from the "Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty ( Joseon Wangjo Sillok)," which prove concrete inheritance and property rights Joseon women held and maintained
