As we are called `Homo Sexus`, sex is becoming more important to us. Expecially word `sex` in literature sometimes has a political, social, and cultural meaning to it which makes it more closer to the word `sexuality`. And when the word sexuality gets related to gender it becomes `gendered sexuality`. It is because the sexuality between men and women are different. Therefore in a feminist novel the sexuality women that is dominated by men is being focused. In this study the aspects and violation of `gendered sexuality` can be looked mainly within the novels of Seo Young Eun`s , , . In Seo Young Eun`s novel the sexuality beyond the system is where the problem can be seen in both the positive and negative sides of gendered sexuality. Being more detail, in the novel women`s sexuality is related to the pursuit of capitalism or civilization whereas the men`s sexuality is linked with `primitivism`. Thus, the women`s sexuality is degraded. Moreover, in women rejecting to marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and child care are considered as witches. However, only when women are witches, they can reject the patriarchy. In desexualized sex can be seen from two women who fell into lesbianism. This is to show `gendered sexuality` sublimated by spiritual and aesthetic thing. Seo Young Eun`s novels show both contradiction and dissension of `gendered sexuality` with dangerous sexuality. `Gendered sexuality` itself contains `Otherness`. Therefore the phenomenon of being criticized whether a women acts like a women or a men is the so-called double image of `gendered sexuality`.
